Local, Efflux-Dependent Auxin Gradients as a Common Module for Plant Organ Formation

TL;DR: It is shown that organ formation in Arabidopsis involves dynamic gradients of the signaling molecule auxin with maxima at the primordia tips, which suggest that PIN-dependent, local auxin gradients represent a common module for formation of all plant organs, regardless of their mature morphology or developmental origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lateral relocation of auxin efflux regulator PIN3 mediates tropism in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: It is shown that auxin accumulates asymmetrically during differential growth in an efflux-dependent manner and that actin-dependent relocalization of PIN3 in response to gravity provides a mechanism for redirecting auxin flux to trigger asymmetric growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

PIN Proteins Perform a Rate-Limiting Function in Cellular Auxin Efflux

TL;DR: Conditional gain-of-function alleles and quantitative measurements of auxin accumulation revealed that the action of PINs in auxin efflux is distinct from PGP, rate-limiting, specific to auxins, and sensitive to auxin transport inhibitors, which suggests a direct involvement ofPINs in catalyzing cellular auxIn efflux.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrate-Regulated Auxin Transport by NRT1.1 Defines a Mechanism for Nutrient Sensing in Plants

TL;DR: It is proposed that NRT1.1 represses lateral root growth at low nitrate availability by promoting basipetal auxin transport out of these roots, which defines a mechanism connecting nutrient and hormone signaling during organ development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polar PIN localization directs auxin flow in plants.

TL;DR: Interfering with sequence-embedded polarity signals directly demonstrates that PIN polarity is a primary factor in determining the direction of auxin flow in meristematic tissues.
