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 …

The plant signaling molecule auxin is present in multiple kingdoms of life. Since its
discovery, a century of research has been focused on its action as a phytohormone. In land …

Abstract The PIN-FORMED (PIN) protein family of auxin transporters mediates polar auxin
transport and has crucial roles in plant growth and development,. Here we present cryo …

Leaves are the main photosynthetic organs of vascular plants and show considerable
diversity in their geometries, ranging from simple spoonlike forms to complex shapes with …

The control of axillary bud outgrowth involves a network of hormonal signals and feedback
regulation. A repressor of bud outgrowth that is central to the story has been missing since it …

Initiation of symbiotic nodules in legumes requires cytokinin signaling, but its mechanism of
action is largely unknown. Here, we tested whether the failure to initiate nodules in the …

How reproducible body patterns emerge from the collective activity of individual cells is a
key question in developmental biology. Plant cells are encaged in their walls and unable to …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a model system for understanding the physiological,
biochemical, and molecular biological events occurring during plant embryo development …

The phytohormone auxin is polarly transported in plants by PIN-FORMED (PIN) transporters
and controls virtually all growth and developmental processes. Canonical PINs possess a …

Polar auxin transport, mediated by influx and efflux transporters, controls many aspects of
plant growth and development. The auxin influx carriers in A rabidopsis have been shown to …
