Contradiction exists in the literature as to the effect of exogenous auxin on the growth of Intact plants, and the assumed lack of such an effect has been used as evidence that auxin does not function in regulating growth through changes in concentration. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA),
Aug 10, 2012· The plant hormone auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), plays important roles in plant growth and development. The signaling response to IAA is largely dependent on the local concentration of IAA, and this concentration is regulated by multiple mechanisms in plants. Therefore, the precise quantification of local IAA concentration provides insights into the regulation of IAA and its biological …

Think of them as human hormones where a little concentration can go a long way in changing the growth of plants.. One of the major types of plant hormones are auxins.
The similar concentration dependency of auxin-induced growth and of calcium release, and the fact that most of the in vitro responses of plant plasma membranes to auxin are duplicated by appropriate modulation of membrane calcium, suggest a role of calcium ions in the responses of plant membranes to auxins. Introduction Isolated plant plasma ...
Oct 06, 2010· The existence of auxin as a mobile growth regulator was famously inferred by Charles and Frances Darwin, as described in their 1880 book, The Power of Movement in Plants (Darwin and Darwin, 1880).However, auxin was not isolated until much later by Went (1926).Its first ever mention in Plant Physiology was in Went's obituary, written by George Peirce, which credits Went with having ...

Sep 24, 2009· Introduction. Auxin is a ubiquitous endogenous regulator involved in shaping much of plant growth and development. For example, at the shoot apical meristem, local auxin maxima resulting from PIN1-directed auxin flow specify the positions and timing of leaf primordia initiation (Reinhardt et al., 2003; Jonsson et al., 2006).Auto-regulation of phyllotaxy is achieved by the effects of auxin on ...

May 13, 2018· An auxin is a plant hormone derived from the amino acid tryptophan. An auxin may be one of many molecules, but all auxin molecules are involved in some sort of cellular regulation. Auxin molecules are one of five major types of plant hormone. The other major groups are the gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic acid.
Jun 26, 2018· Auxin is a plant hormone required for the establishment of growth orientation. Redistribution of auxin across an organ allows reorientation, and this is achieved through changes in the polar localization of auxin efflux carriers. We have found that when auxin methylation is impaired, auxin is not correctly redistributed on gravistimulation, due to a general increase in basipetal auxin ...

In trees, stem secondary growth depends on vascular cambium proliferation activity and subsequent cell differentiation, in which an auxin concentration gradient across the cambium area plays a crucial role in regulating the process. However, the underlying molecular mechanism for the establishment of auxin concentration is not fully understood.

Dec 19, 2016· Auxins are plant hormones that help guide plant growth. They work in conjunction with but in opposition to, cytokinin hormones. They are both required, and the ratio of one to the other will either promote root growth (if the ratio has more auxin), or promote shoot growth and inhibit root growth (if the ratio has more cytokinin).
Auxin employment begins in the embryo of the plant, where directional distribution of auxin ushers in subsequent growth and development of primary growth poles, then forms buds of future organs. Throughout the plant's life, auxin helps the plant maintain the polarity of growth and recognize where it has its branches (or any organ) connected.

as well as plant adaptive growth in response to environmental cues (Ding et al., 2011; Su et al., 2017; Grones et al., 2018; Rakusova et al., 2019). Unlike other phytohormones, auxin-de-pendent plant morphogenesis and adaptabilities rely on auxin concentration gradients that are, besides the contribution of local auxin biosynthesis (Brumos et ...
Auxin, a key endogenous plant hormone, has been proven to play an important role in all stages of plant growth and development. Recently, many studies have reported the involvement of auxin in the process of plant resistance to abiotic stress (Bulak et al., 2014, Zhou et al., 2020, Huang et al., 2020).

Here we review the role of auxin in seed dormancy and germination. Auxin is one of the classic phytohormones effective during tropism growth and tissue differentiation. Recent studies, however, show that auxin possesses positive effects on seed dormancy, which suggests that auxin is the second phytohormone that induces seed dormancy, besides ABA.
Auxin is a crucial phytohormone for precise control of growth and development of plants. Due to its low concentration in plant tissues which are rich in interfering substances, the accurate determination of auxins remains a challenge.
