Interplay of brassinosteroids, strigolactones, and CLE44 in modulating Arabidopsis stem architecture in response to mechanical stress.

Abstract excerpt

Vascular tissues are crucial to providing plants with physical support and transporting water, nutrients, and signaling metabolites. Mechanical stress produced by wind, insects, and other external factors affects plant growth and development. Mechanical load weight treatments, simulating these stressors, are known to induce specific changes in vascular tissues, leading to increased stem diameter and a higher...
