Description
Yufei Chang and co-authors trace how a plant signal sets flower size in roses. Their twenty twenty-six paper studies jasmonic acid, a hormone that guides plant growth and defense. A sprayed form of it made Rosa chinensis blooms smaller.
The spray raised a gene switch called RcMYC2 in the petals. Silencing that switch gave larger blooms, with bigger petal cells and more growth gene activity. The switch binds a gene for cell wall loosening and turns it down with partner proteins. A histone-modifying enzyme joins the group to lock the gene off. Readers see a full chain from hormone signal to petal size.
