We are interested in the functions of PAT in plant cells. From Brassica juncea we have isolated an auxin efflux carrier (BjPIN1) and performed functional characterization through transgenic ...

Researchers from the University of Tasmania have provided new insights into auxin, a master plant hormone, and its vital role ...

I want to grow tomatoes this year. Should I add Vitamin B1, crushed eggshells, or Epsom salt to the planting hole? I remember ...

A study at the University of Cordoba shows how algae produce auxin, a plant hormone, opening a path of communication with ...

Just like phototropism, gravitropism is also caused by an unequal distribution of auxin. When a stem is placed horizontally, the bottom side contains more auxin and grows more - causing the stem ...
