Auxin controls starch storage in seeds by boosting gene activity, energy, and sugar flow, playing a crucial role in food ...

University of Tasmania researchers have revealed auxin’s critical role in starch production for crops like rice and maize.

Wageningen researchers have discovered that a vital plant protein originated more than 600 million years ago, long before the ...

How does a tiny molecule help shape the future of global food security? Researchers from the University of Tasmania have provided new insights into ...

The study highlights how ABA and auxin, another key hormone, work together to shape root growth angle, providing a potential strategy to develop drought-resistant crops with improved root system ...

A study at the University of Cordoba shows how algae produce auxin, a plant hormone, opening a path of communication with bacteria to generate synergies that could benefit agricultural production.

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 ...
