The paper develops a multiscale model to explain how GA4 synthesis, diffusion, and catabolism create a spatial gradient in Arabidopsis root growth zones, influencing cell elongation.

This study identifies GA2OX6 and GA2OX8 as key mediators of auxin-gibberellin crosstalk in Arabidopsis root growth, showing their roles in cell elongation and tissue organization.

This study compares GA and auxin responses across cereal crops using hormone sensors and transcriptomics, identifying conserved and species-specific GA-response mechanisms.

The paper uses a GA biosensor to show COP1 and GA20ox1 regulate GA gradients in hypocotyls, which are necessary but not sufficient for cell elongation during light and dark conditions.

This study shows that ABA-induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis thaliana reduces mite infestation and leaf damage by blocking mite feeding access.

This study identifies cellular gibberellin dynamics as a positive regulator of nodule growth and development in legumes, distinct from lateral root formation.

The paper introduces Highlighter, a synthetic optogenetic system for precise light-mediated gene expression control in plants, demonstrating spatiotemporal regulation of gene expression and plant immunity.
