Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the main auxin in higher plants, has profound effects on plant
growth and development. Both plants and some plant pathogens can produce IAA to …

In plants, most developmental programs depend on the action of auxin. The best described
model of the auxin signaling pathway, which explains most, but not all, of the auxin …

The regular arrangement of leaves around a plant's stem, called phyllotaxis, has for
centuries attracted the attention of philosophers, mathematicians and natural scientists; …

Root formation in plants involves the continuous interpretation of positional cues.
Physiological studies have linked root formation to auxins. An auxin response element …

Land plants evolved xylem vessels to conduct water and nutrients, and to support the plant.
Microarray analysis with a newly established Arabidopsis in vitro xylem vessel element …

The vascular tissues of flowering plants form networks of interconnected cells throughout the
plant body. The molecular mechanisms directing the routes of vascular strands and ensuring …

In addition to its role in water and nutrient uptake, the root system is fundamentally important
because it anchors a plant to its substrate. Although a wide variety of root systems exist …

Auxin is arguably the most important signaling molecule in plants, and the last few decades
have seen remarkable breakthroughs in understanding its production, transport, and …

Dramatic advances in our understanding of auxin signal-response pathways have been
made in recent years. Much of this new knowledge has come through the study of mutants in …

Wood, a type of xylem tissue, originates from cell proliferation of the vascular cambium.
Xylem is produced inside, and phloem outside, of the cambium 1. Morphogenesis in plants …
