🌱🧬 IAA inactivation involves oxidation, amide conjugation, and glycosylation. New findings show glycosylation is more important than previously thought. GH3 activity persists even in gh3oct mutants.
Auxin metabolism is more complex than we knew #plantscience

🌾🧬UV B radiation damages highland barley. ABA supplementation boosts lignin biosynthesis, restores hormone balance, and increases yield by 26 percent under UV B stress. Stronger stems, better lodging resistance.
ABA offers a strategy for high altitude crops.
