Xerobranching, a temporary suppression of root branching when water is limiting, is controlled by the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA). A recently published study reveals how root branching is dynamically controlled by redistribution in opposite directions of ABA and auxin.
干分支现象,即水分供应受限情况下根部分支的暂时抑制,受植物激素脱落酸(ABA)调控。最近发表的一项研究揭示了根部分支是如何通过脱落酸和生长素在相反方向上的重新分布而受到动态控制的。
