A hallmark of plants is their adaptability of size and form in response to widely fluctuating environments. The metabolism and redistribution of the phytohormone auxin play pivotal roles in ...

Brefeldin A (BFA), a fungal metabolite causing dysfunction of the Golgi apparatus in plant and animal cells, was used to investigate the role of secretory processes at the plasma membrane in ...

Leaf senescence is regulated by diverse developmental and environmental factors. Exogenous jasmonic acid (JA) can induce leaf senescence, whereas auxin suppresses this physiological process. Crosstalk ...

A new method uses the auxin-inducible degron (AID) system to tune protein levels with precision in living C. elegans.

In their quest for the origin of the universal auxin hormone in plants, biochemists and bioinformaticists took on the mantle of archaeologists. Deep in the evolutionary history of plant life on earth, ...
