TL;DR: The overall metabolic response of Arabidopsis cells to oxidative stress is remarkably similar to the superoxide and hydrogen peroxide stimulons of bacteria and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), suggesting that the stress regulatory and signaling pathways of plants and microbes may share common elements.

TL;DR: Analysis of the effect of osmotic stress on abscisic acid, cytokinin and ethylene responses and how they mediate auxin transport, distribution and root growth through effects on PIN proteins reveals that ABA regulates root growth under osmosis stress conditions via an interacting hormonal network with cytokin in, ethylene and auxin.

TL;DR: A novel methodology that iteratively combines experiments with systems modeling analysis is essential for elucidating the complexity in crosstalk of auxin, cytokinin, and ethylene in root development.

TL;DR: The GC-MS method applied to compare the metabolism of wild type and well-characterized transgenic potato tubers exhibiting an enhanced sucrose mobilization illustrates its power as a further phenotyping tool for the analysis of plant metabolism.

TL;DR: The model reproduces available mutants, and with new experimental data provides new insights into how PLS regulates auxin concentration, by controlling the relative contribution of auxin transport and biosynthesis and by integrating auxin, ethylene and cytokinin signalling.
