These developments are set in motion by the plant hormone auxin.

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.

«What was specially relevant from a basic research standpoint was that, for the first time, the descent in levels of a plant hormone compared to control values as an answer to environmental stress could be a physiologically significant response — and data points in this direction,» adds Arbona.
