Auxin-mediated SCF TIR1 –substrate interaction represents a new mechanism in which a naturally occurring small molecule directly stimulates the substrate-binding activity of a cullin-RING ...

Auxin is the first plant hormone—or "phytohormone"—ever identified, with its discovery dating to the late 19th and early 20th ...

Biomolecular condensates are distinct molecular communities made of DNA, RNA and proteins that "condense" molecules to key ...

Flowers grow stems, leaves and petals in a perfect pattern again and again. A new Cornell study shows that even in this ...

Previously, it was believed that auxin's main signaling mechanism acted only by regulating gene transcription. Now, scientists have demonstrated that another mechanism exists, and that cells in ...

The auxin transport mechanism in these mutant plants was severely impaired: The plants grew upwards, away from the gravitational pull, irrespective of the light source. This helped the scientists ...

The researchers found a novel mechanism in which auxin production is stimulated by ABA, leading to increased root ...

The timing of plants' root placement is due to autophagy, the recycling pathway many people associate with health benefits from fasting.

Past research has shown that a TIR1/AFB-independent auxin signaling mechanism may be involved in regulating the gene expression and growth in algae. However, not much is known about the underlying ...

and that auxin, a well-studied growth hormone involved in various processes of plant development, plays a role in the process. However, the molecular mechanism behind root regeneration has ...

"We are convinced that the full explanation involves both auxin and elastic stress," he says. How such a two-phase mechanism would come about is difficult to imagine, says Pavel Dimitrov of Yale ...
