We propose a role for the plant hormone auxin as an integrator of the activities of multiple plant hormones to control plant growth in response to the environment.

Biosynthesis of essential hormones is often complex and redundant ... pathway that is responsible for providing auxin during plant development and in response to environmental cues.

This chemical is produced commercially and contains indole-3-butyric acid (IBA,) an artificial version of the natural plant hormone auxin. Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) is another synthetic ...

However, certain bacteria can hack this system. Another key player in this evolutionary back-and-forth are plant hormones called auxins. Auxins are an important class of hormones that affect how ...

A study at the University of Cordoba shows how algae produce auxin, a plant hormone, opening a path of communication with bacteria to generate synergies that could benefit agricultural production.

Selective weedkillers kill plants that some species of animals ... grow without seeds inside is to spray the flower with hormones such as auxin or gibberellin. This is called parthenocarpic ...

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 ...

Auxin is a hormone crucial in nearly every aspect of plant growth and development. Advancing our understanding of auxin signaling in maize and other crop plants may provide needed tools for ...

Plants shed their leaves not only in the fall, but continuously. New experiments indicate that they do so when old leaves flag in their production of the hormone auxin and young leaves make more ...
