The acid growth theory states that the auxin-induced acidification of plant cell walls causes their expansion. A model now suggests that excessive acidification leads to growth inhibition ...

But that's exactly what most of us do when we discard the peel, which makes up around one third of the average weight of the total fruit. The peel of the banana, like many fruits and vegetables ...

The key phytohormone auxin is involved in practically every aspect of plant growth and development. Auxin regulates these processes by controlling gene expression through functionally distinct AUXIN ...

The receptacle with NAA treatment had the lowest ABA contents among the various treatments and fruit regions, again suggesting that auxin produced by the achenes acts as a repressor of ABA, and ...

Here, we describe the auxin-inducible gene expression system (AGES). AGES relies on the auxin-dependent degradation of a ubiquitously expressed GAL80, and therefore, is compatible with existing ...
