Live-cell imaging has transformed hormone research by allowing real-time visualization of hormone transport inside living plant tissues. This article explains how fluorescent biosensors and advanced microscopy reveal dynamic auxin and ABA movement, uncovering new insights into plant development, stress responses, and adaptive signaling.
Plants survive drought and heat by maintaining a constant dialogue between roots and shoots. Through ABA, hydraulic signals, peptides, and even electrical impulses, roots warn leaves of drying soil while shoots signal heat demand. This article explores how this communication helps build climate-resilient plant systems.
Plants may appear passive, but beneath their stillness lies an intricate network of sensing and signalling systems. Among these, nutrient sensing is one of the most remarkable. Plants need the ability to detect and respond to changing nutrient levels in their environment. Without this ability, they would be unable to adapt to soil limitations. They…
