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 …

Protein phosphorylation modification is crucial for signaling transduction in plant
development and environmental adaptation. By precisely phosphorylating crucial …

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 …

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 …

Lateral roots are typically maintained at non-vertical angles with respect to gravity. These
gravitropic setpoint angles are intriguing because their maintenance requires that roots are …

Auxin plays crucial roles in multiple developmental processes, such as embryogenesis,
organogenesis, cell determination and division, as well as tropic responses. These …

Organisms have evolved under gravitational force, and many sense the direction of gravity
by means of statoliths in specialized cells. In flowering plants, starch-accumulating plastids …

Plant growth and development are greatly affected by the environment. Many genes have
been identified to be involved in regulating plant development and adaption of abiotic stress …

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 …
