TL;DR: The predicted SLY1 amino acid sequence is highly conserved among plants, indicating a key role in GA response, and suggests SCFSLY1-targeted degradation of RGA through the 26S proteasome pathway.

TL;DR: The many ways auxin levels are regulated through biosynthesis, storage forms, and inactivation are discussed, and the potential roles modified auxins play in regulating the bioactive pool of auxin to affect plant growth and development are discussed.

TL;DR: This review of auxin field advances over the past century includes a seminal paper by Kenneth Thimann and Charles Schneider titled "The relative activities of different auxins" from the American Journal of Botany, in which they compare the growth altering properties of several auxinic compounds.

TL;DR: It is identified that dimerization of the repressor with the transcription factor is insufficient to repress activity, suggesting that multimerization is the mechanism of repressing ARF transcriptional activity and further raising the possibility thatMultimerization in other systems may play roles in transcriptional repression.

TL;DR: It is found that pdr8 mutants display defects in efflux of the auxin precursor IBA and developmental defects in root hair and cotyledon expansion that reveal previously unknown roles for IBA-derived IAA in plant growth and development, consistent with the possibility that limiting accumulation of the IAA precursor I BA via PDR8-promoted efflux contributes to auxin homeostasis.
