Article Abstract
The phytohormone auxin plays crucial roles in nearly every aspect of plant growth and development. The auxin response factor (ARF) transcription factor family regulates auxin-responsive gene expression and exhibits nuclear localization in regions of high auxin responsiveness. Here we show that the ARF7 and ARF19 proteins accumulate in micron-sized assemblies within the cytoplasm of tissues with attenuated auxin responsiveness. We found that the intrinsically disordered middle region and the folded PB1 interaction domain of ARFs drive protein assembly formation. Mutation of a single lysine within the PB1 domain abrogates cytoplasmic assemblies, promotes ARF nuclear localization, and results in an altered transcriptome and morphological defects. Our data suggest a model in which ARF nucleo-cytoplasmic partitioning regulates auxin responsiveness, providing a mechanism for cellular competence for auxin signaling.

Melatonin, a multifunctional signalling molecule in plants, has been increasingly recognized for its role in improving stress tolerance, regulating hormone signalling, and enhancing crop productivity. Exogenous melatonin application represents a promising strategy to enhance crop productivity under global agricultural challenges. This study aimed to investigate the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which melatonin improves yield in Brassica napus.

Salicylic acid (SA), a long-characterized defense hormone, is increasingly recognized for its roles in plant growth and development. However, its involvement in mediating plant growth responses to environmental cues remains less understood. Here, we show that SA negatively affects thermomorphogenic growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Bulbil formation in Lilium lancifolium represents a pivotal vegetative reproduction strategy, yet the transcriptional regulatory network governing this process remains largely uncharacterized. Here, we identify LlLRP1 by full-length cloning, sequence analysis and subcellular localization, an SHI/SRS family transcription factor, as a key mediator of bulbil morphogenesis. Transcriptomic profiling revealed that LlLRP1 is a downstream target of LlWOX11, with its promoter harboring conserved binding motifs (AAAG, AGTA) validated by yeast one-hybrid, dual-luciferase reporter, and electrophoretic mobility shift assays.

This study focused on the chemical synthesis of auxin analogs, wherein a trifluoromethyl group was introduced near the carboxyl group in the side chain of natural and synthetic auxins, including IAA, NAA, IBA, 2,4-D, and 4-Cl-IAA. The effects of these synthetic compounds and natural auxins on plant growth regulation and callus growth were evaluated. In experiments with black gram, CF-IAA and 4-Cl-CF-IAA exhibited comparable effects to the parent compound, IAA.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a globally important crop, yet the gene regulatory networks (GRNs) controlling gene expression remain poorly understood. In this study, we constructed GRNs for roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds by inferring transcription factor (TF)-target interactions from over 10,000 RNA-seq libraries using the GENIE3 algorithm. We refined these networks with gene co-expression data and computational predictions of TF binding sites.
