The PIN-FORMED (PIN) protein family of auxin transporters [PDF]
, 2009 The PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins are secondary transporters acting in the efflux of the plant signal molecule auxin from cells. They are asymmetrically localized within cells and their polarity determines the directionality of intercellular auxin flow.

Regulation of Root Angle and Gravitropism [PDF]
G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2018 AbstractRegulation of plant root angle is critical for obtaining nutrients and water and is an important trait for plant breeding. A plant’s final, long-term root angle is the net result of a complex series of decisions made by a root tip in response to changes in nutrient availability, impediments, the gravity vector and other stimuli. When a root tip

Molecular genetics of auxin signaling [PDF]
, 2002 The plant hormone auxin is a simple molecule similar to tryptophan, yet it elicits a diverse array of responses and is involved in the regulation of growth and development throughout the plant life cycle.

Molecular Mechanisms of Root Gravitropism [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Plant shoots typically grow against the gravity vector to access light, whereas roots grow downward into the soil to take up water and nutrients. These gravitropic responses can be altered by developmental and environmental cues. In this review, we discuss the molecular mechanisms that govern the gravitropism of angiosperm roots, where a physical ...

A functional TOC complex contributes to gravity signal transduction in Arabidopsis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Although plastid sedimentation has long been recognized as important for a plant’s perception of gravity, it was recently shown that plastids play an additional function in gravitropism. The Translocon at the Outer envelope membrane of Chloroplasts (TOC)

Sparse panicle1 is required for inflorescence development in Setaria viridis and maize. [PDF]
, 2017 Setaria viridis is a rapid-life-cycle model panicoid grass. To identify genes that may contribute to inflorescence architecture and thus have the potential to influence grain yield in related crops such as maize, we conducted an N-nitroso-N-methylurea ...

Functional mapping of gravitropism and phototropism for a desert tree, Populus euphratica
Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2021 Background: Plants have evolved the dual capacity for maximizing light assimilation through stem growth (phototropism) and maximizing water and nutrient absorption through root growth (gravitropism).
