Where the hormone accumulates is determined by the activity of the PIN1 protein, which transports auxin out of the cells. The ...

Auxins are chemicals that control the growth of plants by promoting cell division and causing elongation in plant cells (the cells get longer).

Conventionally, tissue culture for plant regeneration requires the application of plant growth regulators (PGRs), such as auxins and cytokinins, to control cell differentiation. However ...

Auxin also has a prominent role in shaping the ... Although tissue-directed expression and cell sorting are now routinely used, there is a crucial need for the development of new non-invasive ...

Many PIN proteins show polarized localization; that is, they are either in the basal or the apical part of the cell. The polarized localization complements PIN1 function in polarized auxin transport.

A degron-fused protein of interest is recognized for rapid degradation by a TIR1 mutant only in the presence of an auxin analog, which initiates the degradation process. The target protein is ...

In a stem, the cells on the shaded side contain more auxin and grow longer than the cells on the light side. This causes the stem to grow towards the light. It is vital to note that the plant does ...
