Trichoderma–plant–pathogen interactions

TL;DR: A better understanding of molecular factors involved in this complex tripartite interaction is expected to enhance not only the rapid identification of effective strains and their applications but also indicate the potentials for improvement of natural strains of Trichoderma.

Auxin conjugates: their role for plant development and in the evolution of land plants

TL;DR: The function of auxin conjugates has been mainly elucidated by mutant analysis in genes for synthesis or hydrolysis and a possible function for conjugate inferred from these results, but there is increasing evidence of the occurrence of peptides and proteins modified by IAA.

The role of auxins and cytokinins in the release of buds from dominance

TL;DR: It is concluded that growing shoots are relatively insensitive to correlative inhibition because they synthesize two types of growth substances, namely, auxin, which antagonizes the inhibitory effect on internodal elongation, and cytokinins, which permit the apex itself to develop.

Sugar demand, not auxin, is the initial regulator of apical dominance

TL;DR: It is revealed that apical dominance is predominantly controlled by the shoot tip’s intense demand for sugars, which limits sugar availability to the axillary buds, and artificially increasing sucrose levels in plants represses the expression of BRANCHED1, the key transcriptional regulator responsible for maintaining bud dormancy, and results in rapid bud release.

On the Inhibition of Bud Development and other Functions of Growth Substance in Vicia Faba

TL;DR: The work to be described here proves that inhibition can be caused in this way, and shows that the inhibiting substance is almost certainly identical with the hgrowth substance.

Studies on the Growth Hormone of Plants: III. The Inhibiting Action of the Growth Substance on Bud Development

TL;DR: The evidence indicates that this inhibition in Pisum is probably caused by a special substance, of the same nature as the growth-promoting substance of Avena coleoptiles, and the experiments to be described here confirm this belief.
Journal ArticleDOI

The action of the plant growth hormone.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the rate of respiration of sections of coleoptiles is increased by the addition of growth substance in concentrations which cause growth and also respiration is inhibited by KCN and phenylurethane in the concentrations which inhibit normal respiration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Further Experiments on the Inhibition of the Development of Lateral Buds by Growth Hormone.

TL;DR: The inhibition of lateral buds brought about by the application of growth substance after decapitation is not due to a stimulation of the growth of the experimental plants, since inhibition is complete without any accompanying increase in stem length or thickness.
