STUDIES on the mechanism by which auxin exerts its growth-promoting action on plant cells have indicated that, although ultimately detectable on the cell-wall, the effect is exerted in the first ...
Auxin is one of the major five plant hormones, mostly present natively as free or conjugated indole-acetic acid (IAA), a tryptophan derivative. Polar auxin transport is tightly regulated ...
Auxin Solar, a small solar panel manufacturer with operations in California, has filed a lawsuit against the CBP and Department of Commerce for failing to collect fees and credits from solar ...
Just like phototropism, gravitropism is also caused by an unequal distribution of auxin. When a stem is placed horizontally, the bottom side contains more auxin and grows more - causing the stem ...
In a stem, the cells on the shaded side contain more auxin and grow longer than the cells on the light side. This causes the stem to grow towards the light. It is vital to note that the plant does ...
