Unilateral Global Bifurcation for Fourth-Order Problems and Its Applications by Wenguo Shen

“…We will establish unilateral global bifurcation result for a class of fourth-order problems. Under some natural hypotheses on perturbation function, we show that (λk,0) is a bifurcation point of the above problems and there are two distinct unbounded continua, Ck+ and Ck-, consisting of the bifurcation branch Ck from (μk,0), where μk is the kth eigenvalue of the linear problem corresponding to the above problems. …”

Dressed Up to the Nines: The Interplay of Phytohormones Signaling and Redox Metabolism During Plant Response to Drought by Douglas Jardim-Messeder, Ygor de Souza-Vieira, Gilberto Sachetto-Martins

“…Hormonal signaling and the maintenance of ROS homeostasis are interconnected, playing indispensable roles in growth, development, and stress responses and orchestrating diverse molecular responses during environmental adversities. Nine principal classes of phytohormones have been categorized: auxins, brassinosteroids, cytokinins, and gibberellins primarily oversee developmental growth regulation, while abscisic acid, ethylene, jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and strigolactones are the main orchestrators of environmental stress responses. …”
