TLDR
Exogenous application of hormones is one of the most common methods in research into the mode of action of such substances, but it is rarely easy and often impossible to achieve with plant material because any given hormone may be produced in more than one location within the plant.Abstract:
Exogenous application of hormones is one of the most common methods in research into the mode of action of such substances. The rationale behind such approaches is based mainly on the idea of replacement of the endogenous, naturally occurring hormone by an exogenous hormone, the level of which may be controlled and its effect monitored. This is fairly easily accomplished in animal systems, where the gland synthesizing a particular hormone can be dissected out and the target tissue monitored after application of the exogenous hormone via the blood stream. This is rarely easy and often impossible to achieve with plant material because in most instances any given hormone may be produced in more than one location within the plant. Furthermore, the same organ or cell which produces the hormone may also be the target.read more

TL;DR: Using R. meliloti strains overproducing symbiotic Nod factors, the major alfalfa-specific signal, NodRm-1, is purified by gel permeation, ion exchange and C18 reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography and elicited root hair deformation on the homologous host when added in nanomolar concentration.

Biostimulant action of a plant-derived protein hydrolysate produced through enzymatic hydrolysis
Giuseppe Colla,Youssef Rouphael,Renaud Canaguier,Eva Baldassarre Švecová,Mariateresa Cardarelli +4 more
TL;DR: The application of plant-derived protein hydrolysate containing amino acids and small peptides elicited a hormone-like activity, enhanced nitrogen uptake and consequently crop performances.

Transgenic Tobacco Plants Coexpressing the Agrobacterium tumefaciens iaaM and iaaH Genes Display Altered Growth and Indoleacetic Acid Metabolism.
TL;DR: Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) SR1 plants expressing the Agrobacterium tumefaciens nopaline transferred DNA iaaH gene were transformed with a 35S-iaaM construct to provide a model system for studies on IAA metabolism, IAA interactions with other phytohormones, and IAA roles in regulating plant growth and development.

TL;DR: CGHE had a significantly beneficial impact on growth, flowering, and fruiting of tomato plants, most notably regarding the greater plant height, number of flowers per plant, and number of fruits per plant.

Gene Regulation for Higher Cells: A Theory
Roy J. Britten,Eric H. Davidson +1 more
TL;DR: Direct support for the idea that regulation of gene activity underlies cell differentiation comes from evidence that much of the genome in higher cell types is inactive and that different ribonucleic acids are synthesized in different cell types.

An analysis of irreversible plant cell elongation.
TL;DR: A model for plant cell elongation has been developed from rate equations for osmotic uptake of water and irreversible expansion of the cell wall, and the derived formulations predict growth curves comparable to those observed experimentally.
