Adventitious rooting declines with the vegetative to reproductive switch and involves a changed auxin homeostasis (2014)
Journal Article
Rasmussen, A., Hosseini, S. A., Hajirezaei, M.-R., Druege, U., & Geelen, D. (2015). Adventitious rooting declines with the vegetative to reproductive switch and involves a changed auxin homeostasis. Journal of Experimental Botany, 65(4), https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/eru499

Adventitious rooting, whereby roots form from non-root tissues, is critical to the forestry and horticultural industries that depend on propagating plants from cuttings. A major problem is that age of the tissue affects the ability of the cutting to...

Branching out in roots: uncovering form, function, and regulation (2014)
Journal Article
Atkinson, J. A., Rasmussen, A., Traini, R., Voss, U., Sturrock, C., Mooney, S. J., …Bennett, M. J. (2014). Branching out in roots: uncovering form, function, and regulation. Plant Physiology, 166(2), 538-550. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.114.245423

Root branching is critical for plants to secure anchorage and ensure the supply of water, minerals, and nutrients. To date, research on root branching has focused on lateral root development in young seedlings. However, many other programs of postemb...

New Strigolactone Analogs as Plant Hormones with Low Activities in the Rhizosphere (2014)
Journal Article
Boyer, F. D., de Saint Germain, A., Pouvreau, J.-B., Clavé, G., Pillot, J.-P., Roux, A., …Rameau, C. (2014). New Strigolactone Analogs as Plant Hormones with Low Activities in the Rhizosphere. Molecular Plant, 7(4), 675-690. https://doi.org/10.1093/mp/sst163

Strigolactones (SLs) are known not only as plant hormones, but also as rhizosphere signals for establishing symbiotic and parasitic interactions. The design of new specific SL analogs is a challenging goal in understanding the basic plant biology and...
