Six dichloro-, 3 trichloro-, 2 triiodo-, and 3 heterosubstituted benzoic acids (amiben, dinoben, dicamba), and N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid have been tested for effects on growth and on polar auxin ...

Many aspects of plant development, including patterning and tropisms, are largely dependent on the asymmetric distribution of the plant signaling molecule auxin. Auxin transport inhibitors (ATIs), ...

Why are sunflowers always blooming with their “smile faces” to the Sun? This fascinating phenomenon is controlled by auxin existing in plants. Auxin, a plant hormone, is involved in regulating almost ...

Plant roots rely on local production of a key hormone that controls many aspects of development and response to environmental changes, according to new research. Specifically, local auxin production ...

Leiden and Austrian researchers have succeeded in further uncovering how a plant cell passes on the growth hormone auxin in a directional manner to the next cell. Three proteins that cling together in ...

Plants have veins that transport nutrients through their body. These veins are highly organized. The hormone auxin travels directionally from cell-to-cell and provides cells with positional ...
