In order to optimally establish their root systems, plants are endowed with several
mechanisms to use at distinct steps during their development. In this review, we zoom in on …

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 …

Background The phytohormone auxin is critical for plant growth and orchestrates many
developmental processes.• Scope This review considers the complex array of mechanisms …

Local accumulation of the plant growth regulator auxin mediates pattern formation in
Arabidopsis roots and influences outgrowth and development of lateral root-and shoot …

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 …

The individual roles of auxin and ethylene in controlling the growth and development of
young seedlings have been well studied. In recent years, these two hormones have been …

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 decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

The phytohormone auxin is a key factor in plant growth and development. Forward and
reverse genetic strategies have identified important molecular components in auxin …

Root gravitropism describes the orientation of root growth along the gravity vector and is
mediated by differential cell elongation in the root meristem. This response requires the …
