Externally, they do something that is unusual for plant hormones. "Most of the time, plant hormones do not radiate externally—they aren't exuded. But these do," said UCR plant biologist and ...

So, those were a bunch of things that our cells don’t have in common with plant cells. But there’s another thing we do have in common. And that’s hormones. That’s right: plant cells are ...

New research reveals how plant-based flavonoids can regulate gut hormones like GLP-1 and ghrelin, offering a natural strategy to manage insulin resistance and slow the progression of type 2 diabetes.

This can result in a reduction of biodiversity. Plant cuttings can be dipped in hormone rooting powder before planting. Synthetic plant hormones are used to control plant growth. For example ...
