Cover story: Gibberellin inhibits floral initiation in the perennial woody plant Jatropha curcas
21.09.2018
Gibberellin is an important phytohormone and has been reported to promote flowering
in annual and biennial plants, but may play an opposite role in woody perennial plants. In this issue,
Li et al. (on pp. 999−1006) reported that exogenous application of gibberellin inhibited flowering of ...

Cover story: Gibberellin promotes shoot branching in the perennial woody plant Jatropha curcas
21.12.2015
For many years, auxin, cytokinin and strigolactone were thought to be the main phytohormones controlling shoot branching, while
the potential role of gibberellin had been overlooked. Ni et al. (on pp. 1655–1666) report that gibberellin acts as a positive regulator
of shoot branching in th...
