Auxins are important plant growth regulating compounds that are applied in vast quantities
to crops across the globe to control weeds and improve crop quality and yield. Auxins are …

Phytohormone auxin plays a key role in regulating plant organogenesis. However,
understanding the complex feedback signaling network that involves at least 29 proteins in …

In plants, one of the most important regulative small molecules is indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)
known as auxin. Its dynamic redistribution plays an essential role in virtually every aspect of …

The ability to engineer plant form will enable the production of novel agricultural products
