1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) is a synthetic phytohormone auxin that is added to cell culture media such as Murashige & Skoog media and Chu′s N6 media.
Although silk is used to produce textiles and serves as a valuable biomaterial in medicine, information on silk proteins of the cocoon is limited. Scanning electron microscopy was applied to morphologically characterise the sample and the solubility of cocoon in

Several plant proteins are preferentially localized to one end of a cell, allowing a polarity to be assigned to the cell. These cell polarity proteins often exhibit coordinated patterns between neighboring cells, termed tissue cell polarity. Tissue cell polarity is
Introducing a new trait into a crop through conventional breeding commonly takes decades, but recently developed genome sequence modification technology has the potential to accelerate this process. One of these new breeding technologies relies on an RNA-directed DNA nuclease (CRISPR/Cas9)
As developmental biologists in the age of genome editing, we now have access to an ever-increasing array of tools to manipulate endogenous gene expression. The auxin-inducible degradation system allows for spatial and temporal control of protein degradation via a hormone-inducible
The root meristem can regenerate following removal of its stem-cell niche by recruitment of remnant cells from the stump. Regeneration is initiated by rapid accumulation of auxin near the injury site but the source of this auxin is unknown. Here
