Outline of Final Research Achievements |
(1) We showed that in Arabidopsis thaliana plants ethylene affects the levels of auxin, cytokinins (CKs), abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid and gibberellins, and potentially brassinosteroids and strigolactone (SL), by influencing the expression of genes involved in the rate-limiting steps of their biosynthesis. Furthermore, we reported interactive effects of CK signaling and MAX2 (MORE AXILLARY GROWTH 2, a member of both SL and karrikin pathway) signaling pathways on primary root growth, hypocotyl elongation and shoot branching in Arabidopsis.
(2) We found that the signaling pathways mediated by the SL receptor DWARF14 and the karrikin receptor KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE 2 show both overlapping and specific responses in affecting various physiological and biochemical processes to positively modulate the adaptation of Arabidopsis plants to drought.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
(1)We gained more insights into the importance of hormones and their crosstalk in plant growth and drought adaptation.
(2)We might manipulate hormone pathways for improvement of plant performance under normal and stress conditions, thereby contributing to sustainable agriculture and green innovation.
