Two independent genetic screens have converged to support a previously conjectured auxin biosynthetic pathway that is responsible for providing auxin during plant development and in response to ...
IN auxin studies on compounds not possessing a carboxyl group Wain found, in this laboratory, that 2 : 3 : 6-trichlorobenzaldoxime exhibits activity as a plant growth regulating substance.
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.
Just like phototropism, gravitropism is also caused by an unequal distribution of auxin. When a stem is placed horizontally, the bottom side contains more auxin and grows more - causing the stem ...
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 ...
