The Arabidopsis thaliana AGRAVITROPIC 1 gene encodes a component of the polar-auxin-transport efflux carrier
TL;DR: It is shown that mutations in the Arabidopsis thaliana AGRAVITROPIC 1 (AGR1) gene involved in root gravitropism confer increased root-growth sensitivity to auxin and decreased sensitivity to ethylene and an auxin transport inhibitor, and cause retention of exogenously added auxin in root tip cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in expression and protein localization of the PIN family of auxin efflux facilitator proteins in flavonoid mutants with altered auxin transport in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Wendy Ann Peer,Anindita Bandyopadhyay,Joshua J. Blakeslee,Srinivas N. Makam,Rujin Chen,Patrick H. Masson,Angus S. Murphy +6 more
TL;DR: Aglycone flavonols are thought to modulate auxin transport in Arabidopsis thaliana via an as yet undefined mechanism and biochemical studies suggest that flavonoids interact with regulatory proteins rather than directly with the PIN auxin efflux facilitator proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Root Traits and Phenotyping Strategies for Plant Improvement
Ana Paez-Garcia,Christy M. Motes,Wolf-Rüdiger Scheible,Rujin Chen,Elison B. Blancaflor,Maria J. Monteros +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, root architectural traits relevant to crop productivity, survey root phenotyping strategies and describe their advantages, limitations and practical value for crop and forage breeding programs are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravitropism in Higher Plants
TL;DR: The gravity-directed growth process, called gravitropism, dictates upward shoot growth to ensure a proper positioning of the leaves for efficient photosynthesis and gas exchange.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light plays an essential role in intracellular distribution of auxin efflux carrier PIN2 in Arabidopsis thaliana.
TL;DR: It is postulated that light regulation of root development is mediated at least in part by changes in the intracellular distribution of auxin efflux carriers, PIN proteins, in response to the light environment.
