Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is an energy-expensive process, and the light available to plants
has been proposed to be a primary influencer. We demonstrate that the light-induced …

The plasma membrane-localized plant steroid hormone receptor, BRASSINOSTEROID
INSENSITIVE 1 (BRI1), is quiescent in the absence of steroids, largely due to a negative regulator…

Brassinosteroids, the steroid hormones of plants, are perceived at the plasma membrane by
a leucine-rich repeat receptor serine/threonine kinase called BRI1. We report a BRI1-…

The LRR receptor serine/threonine kinases are a major eukaryotic receptor family, for which
the central regulatory mechanism of endosomal trafficking remains largely unadressed. We …

The leucine-rich-repeat receptor serine/threonine kinase, BRI1, is a cell-surface receptor for
brassinosteroids (BRs), the steroid hormones of plants, yet its activation mechanism is …

Strigolactones (SLs), a class of the most recently identified terpenoid phytohormones, play
essential roles in plant development, specifically in suppressing shoot branching. MAX2, a …

The development of anther and pollen is important for male reproduction, and this process
is coordinately regulated by many external and internal cues. In this study, we systematically …

Phytohormones have essential roles in coordinately regulating a large array of developmental
processes. Studies have revealed that brassinosteroids (BRs) and abscisic acid (ABA) …

Plants encounter a variety of stresses and must fine-tune their growth and stress-response
programs to best suit their environment. BES1 functions as a master regulator in the …

Arabidopsis glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3)-like kinases have versatile functions in
plant development and in responding to abiotic stresses. Although physiological evidence …
