The major natural auxin in plants, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), orchestrates a plethora of
developmental responses that largely depend on the formation of auxin concentration …

Plants host distinct bacterial communities on and inside various plant organs, of which those
associated with roots and the leaf surface are best characterized. The phylogenetic …

Auxin is a major phytohormone that controls numerous aspects of plant development and
coordinates plant responses to the environment. Morphogenic gradients of auxin govern cell …

To adapt to changing environments, plants have evolved elaborate regulatory mechanisms
balancing their growth with stress responses. It is currently unclear whether and how the …

In some horticultural crops, such as Cucurbitaceae, Solanaceae, and Rosaceae species,
fruit set and development can occur without the fertilization of ovules, a process known as …

It has been a dominant dogma in plant biology that the self-organizing polar auxin transport
system is necessary and sufficient to generate auxin maxima and minima that are essential …

Auxin plays important roles during the entire life span of a plant. This small organic acid
influences cell division, cell elongation and cell differentiation, and has great impact on the …

Auxin plays essential roles in plant normal growth and development. The auxin signaling
pathway relies on the auxin gradient within tissues and cells, which is facilitated by both …

Long before its chemical identity was known, the phytohormone auxin was postulated to
regulate plant growth. In the late 1800s, Sachs hypothesized that plant growth regulators …

The plant hormone auxin drives plant growth and morphogenesis. The levels and
distribution of the active auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) are tightly controlled through …
