The next step in this line of investigation, already in development, is to learn how cellular responses vary, on a molecular level, among roots of flooded plants when the hormone is not present, which would make it possible to create a response model where this signaling path would play a key role.

Work spearheaded by professor Vicent Arbona is progressing in the understanding of the signaling pathway of a plant hormone that will make plants more resistant to stress by flooding.

Because of a quirk of evolution, these plant chemicals are close enough to the natural hormone's shape to bind to the oestrogen receptors on cells in the human body.
