The tetrazole analogue of the auxin indole-3-acetic acid binds preferentially to TIR1 and not AFB5 [PDF]
, 2018 Auxin is considered one of the cardinal hormones in plant growth and development. It regulates a wide range of processes throughout the plant. Synthetic auxins exploit the auxin-signalling pathway and are valuable as herbicidal agrochemicals. Currently, despite a diversity of chemical scaffolds all synthetic auxins have a carboxylic acid as the active ...

PLoS ONE, 2018 Indole-3-acetic acid is a ubiquitous small molecule found in all domains of life. It is the predominant and most active auxin in seed plants, where it coordinates a variety of complex growth and development processes.

Gateway vectors for efficient artificial gene assembly in vitro and expression in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Giuraniuc CV, MacPherson M, Saka Y (2013) PLoS ONE 8(5): e64419, 2012 Construction of synthetic genetic networks requires the assembly of DNA fragments encoding functional biological parts in a defined order. Yet this may become a time-consuming procedure. To address this technical bottleneck, we have created a series of Gateway shuttle vectors and an integration vector, which facilitate the assembly of artificial genes ...

Connective Auxin Transport in the Shoot Facilitates Communication between Shoot Apices.
PLoS Biology, 2016 The bulk polar movement of the plant signaling molecule auxin through the stem is a long-recognized but poorly understood phenomenon. Here we show that the highly polar, high conductance polar auxin transport stream (PATS) is only part of a multimodal ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Parasites and pathogens are known to manipulate the host’s endogenous signaling pathways to facilitate the infection process. In particular, plant-parasitic root-knot nematodes (RKN) are known to elicit auxin response at the infection sites, to aid the ...

Stripe to spot transition in a plant root hair initiation model [PDF]
SIAM J. Appl. Math., 75(3), 1090-1119, 2015, 2014 A generalised Schnakenberg reaction-diffusion system with source and loss terms and a spatially dependent coefficient of the nonlinear term is studied both numerically and analytically in two spatial dimensions. The system has been proposed as a model of hair initiation in the epidermal cells of plant roots. Specifically the model captures the kinetics

The AUXIN BINDING PROTEIN 1 is required for differential auxin responses mediating root growth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 In plants, the phytohormone auxin is a crucial regulator sustaining growth and development. At the cellular level, auxin is interpreted differentially in a tissue- and dose-dependent manner.

Tomographic docking suggests the mechanism of auxin receptor TIR1 selectivity [PDF]
Open Biol. 6, 160139 (2016), 2016 We study the binding of plant hormone IAA on its receptor TIR1 introducing a novel computational method that we call tomographic docking and that accounts for interactions occurring along the depth of the binding pocket. Our results suggest that selectivity is related to constraints that potential ligands encounter on their way from the surface of the ...

Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: In plants, the phytohormone auxin acts as a master regulator of developmental processes and environmental responses. The best characterized process in the auxin regulatory network occurs at the subcellular scale, wherein auxin mediates signal ...
