Auxin has always been at the forefront of research in plant physiology and development.
Since the earliest contemplations by Julius von Sachs and Charles Darwin, more than a …

The differential distribution of the plant signaling molecule auxin is required for many
aspects of plant development. Local auxin maxima and gradients arise as a result of local …

N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) is a key inhibitor of directional (polar) transport of the
hormone auxin in plants. For decades, it has been a pivotal tool in elucidating the unique …

The dynamic, differential distribution of the hormone auxin within plant tissues controls an
impressive variety of developmental processes, which tailor plant growth and morphology to …

The phytohormone auxin is a major regulator of plant growth and development. Many
aspects of these processes depend on the multiple controls exerted by auxin on cell division …

Summary The PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins are secondary transporters acting in the efflux of
the plant signal molecule auxin from cells. They are asymmetrically localized within cells …

The demand for increased crop productivity and the predicted challenges related to plant
survival under adverse environmental conditions have renewed the interest in research in …

Endocytosis includes a number of processes by which cells internalize segments of their
plasma membrane, enclosing a wide variety of material from outside the cell. Endocytosis …

Although the plant growth hormone auxin has long been recognized as a regulator of plant
defense, the molecular mechanisms involved are still largely unknown. Recent studies …

Background Whereas the majority of animals develop toward a predetermined body plan,
plants show iterative growth and continually produce new organs and structures from …
