<Jianhong Hu> is a plant researcher credited as first author of a 2018 study connecting <auxin> and <gibberellin> signalling during <tomato> <fruit> initiation. The paper lists a Department of Biology affiliation at Duke University.
Hu and colleagues combined <protein-protein interaction> assays with single and double <mutants>. They found interactions between <DELLA> repressors and auxin-response regulators, and additive effects on <parthenocarpy>. The combination of biochemical interaction and whole-plant <phenotypes> linked molecular signalling to whether an unfertilized <ovary (botany)> begins growing into a <fruit>.<The Interaction between DELLA and ARF IAA Mediates Crosstalk between Gibberellin and Auxin Signaling to Control Fruit Initiation in Tomato by Jianhong Hu and others>[Author affiliations, abstract and mutant analysis]{ref}
