Auxin participates in a multitude of developmental processes, as well as responses to
environmental cues. Compared with other plant hormones, auxin exhibits a unique property …

Light is crucial for plant life, and perception of the light environment dictates plant growth,
morphology, and developmental changes. Such adjustments in growth and development in …

Tropisms, growth responses to environmental stimuli such as light or gravity, are spectacular
examples of adaptive plant development. The plant hormone auxin serves as a major …

The development and morphology of vascular plants is critically determined by synthesis
and proper distribution of the phytohormone auxin. The directed cell-to-cell distribution of …

Auxin influences plant development through several distinct concentration-dependent
effects 1. In the Arabidopsis root tip, polar auxin transport by PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins …

Auxin controls almost every aspect of plant development. Auxin is distributed within the plant
by passive diffusion and active cell-to-cell transport. PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin efflux …

From embryogenesis to fruit formation, almost every aspect of plant development and
differentiation is controlled by the cellular accumulation or depletion of auxin from cells and …

The phytohormone auxin plays a central role in shaping plant growth and development. With
decades of genetic and biochemical studies, numerous core molecular components and …

Phototropism, or the differential cell elongation exhibited by a plant organ in response to
directional blue light, provides the plant with a means to optimize photosynthetic light …

In response to neighbor proximity, plants increase the growth of specific organs (eg,
hypocotyls) to enhance access to sunlight. Shade enhances the activity of Phytochrome …
