New article: cytokinins, heat stress, and volatile organic compounds
See our article about the role of cytokinins in heat stress and the production of volatile organic compounds: Cytokinins act synergistically with heat acclimation to enhance rice thermotolerance affecting hormonal dynamics, gene expression and volatile emission (Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2023).

New mechanism for auxin transport control
Led by LHR group leader Kamil Růžička, researchers found that alternative splicing of the PIN7 gene produces two proteins with opposing effects on auxin transport, a discovery with potential applications in crop breeding, published in New Phytologist (in Czech). Read the ÚEB feature →

Cold-stress experiments on rice
LHR’s Jana Jarošová walked through experiments testing how young rice plants respond to cold stress, tracking hormonal responses, growth arrest, and recovery, in a video report (in Czech). Read the ÚEB feature →

Featured: our organ-targeted cold-stress experiments in rice
ÚEB featured our organ-targeted cold-stress work in rice: comparing whole-plant, shoot-only, and root-only chilling at 5°C, with and without a 15°C pre-acclimation step, to see which treatment hits growth hardest and how well the plants recover. Read the full report on the ÚEB website.
