Main conclusion The interaction between rootstock-mediated leaf Na and nutrient concentrations, and the subsequent impact on Fv/Fm and unbalanced C/N are major traits associated with plant growth, yield, and bumblebees’ pollinating activity under salinity. Abstract Soil and water salinization compromises crop yield by reducing plant growth and reproductive fitness through altering source-sink activities, which in turn, affects...

Main Conclusion Our review illustrates how the dexamethasone-inducible LhGR/pOp system has been used across numerous tissues/organs and plant species, and summarizes the resources and inducer application procedures established to date. Abstract The establishment of groundbreaking molecular biology tools has enabled the rapid advancement of research based on the model plant Arabidopsis , which currently strongly benefits non-mo...

Main conclusion This review highlights recent advances revealing auxin homeostasis as an integrated network of metabolism and transport, emphasizing subcellular compartmentalization as a key regulatory principle. Abstract Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the principal auxin, is a central regulator of plant growth and development throughout the plant life cycle. Recent discoveries have reshaped our understanding of auxin metabolism...
