Auxin: The Growth Hormone
The Emergence of the Auxin Concept
Identification, Biosynthesis, and Metabolism
of Auxin
The principal auxin in higher plants is indole-3-acetic
acid
IAA is synthesized in meristems and young dividing
tissues
Multiple pathways exist for the biosynthesis
of IAA
IAA can also be synthesized from indole-3-glycerol
phosphate
Seeds and storage organs contain large amounts of
covalently bound auxin
IAA is degraded by multiple pathways
IAA partitions between the cytosol and the
chloroplasts
Auxin Transport
Polar transport requires energy and is gravity
independent
A chemiosmotic model has been proposed to explain
polar transport
P-glycoproteins are also auxin transport proteins
Inhibitors of auxin transport block auxin influx and
efflux
Auxin is also transported nonpolarly in the phloem
Auxin transport is regulated by multiple
mechanisms
Polar auxin transport is required for development
Actions of Auxin: Cell Elongation
Auxins promote growth in stems and coleoptiles, while
inhibiting growth in roots
The outer tissues of dicot stems are the targets of auxin
action
The minimum lag time for auxin-induced growth is ten
minutes
Auxin rapidly increases the extensibility of the cell
wall
Auxin-induced proton extrusion increases cell
extension
Auxin-induced proton extrusion may involve both
activation and synthesis
Actions of Auxin: Phototropism and Gravitropism
Phototropism is mediated by the lateral redistribution
of auxin
Gravitropism involves lateral redistribution of
auxin
Dense plastids serve as gravity sensors
Gravity sensing may involve
messengers
Auxin is redistributed laterally in the root cap
Developmental Effects of Auxin

Auxin transport regulates floral bud development and
phyllotaxy
Auxin promotes the formation of lateral and
adventitious roots

Auxin: The Growth Hormone
The Emergence of the Auxin Concept
Identification, Biosynthesis, and Metabolism
of Auxin
The principal auxin in higher plants is indole-3-acetic
acid
IAA is synthesized in meristems and young dividing
tissues
Multiple pathways exist for the biosynthesis
of IAA
IAA can also be synthesized from indole-3-glycerol
phosphate
Seeds and storage organs contain large amounts of
covalently bound auxin
IAA is degraded by multiple pathways
IAA partitions between the cytosol and the
chloroplasts
Auxin Transport
Polar transport requires energy and is gravity
independent
A chemiosmotic model has been proposed to explain
polar transport
P-glycoproteins are also auxin transport proteins
Inhibitors of auxin transport block auxin influx and
efflux
Auxin is also transported nonpolarly in the phloem
Auxin transport is regulated by multiple
mechanisms
Polar auxin transport is required for development
Actions of Auxin: Cell Elongation
Auxins promote growth in stems and coleoptiles, while
inhibiting growth in roots
The outer tissues of dicot stems are the targets of auxin
action
The minimum lag time for auxin-induced growth is ten
minutes
Auxin rapidly increases the extensibility of the cell
wall
Auxin-induced proton extrusion increases cell
extension
Auxin-induced proton extrusion may involve both
activation and synthesis
Actions of Auxin: Phototropism and Gravitropism
Phototropism is mediated by the lateral redistribution
of auxin
Gravitropism involves lateral redistribution of
auxin
Dense plastids serve as gravity sensors
Gravity sensing may involve
messengers
Auxin is redistributed laterally in the root cap
Developmental Effects of Auxin
Auxin regulates apical dominance
Auxin transport regulates floral bud development and
phyllotaxy
Auxin promotes the formation of lateral and
adventitious roots
Auxin induces vascular differentiation
Auxin delays the onset of leaf abscission
Auxin promotes fruit development
Synthetic auxins have a variety of commercial uses
Auxin Signal Transduction Pathways
A ubiquitin E3
Auxin-induced genes are negatively regulated by
AUX/IAA proteins
Auxin binding to SCFTIR1 stimulates AUX/IAA
destruction
Auxin-induced genes fall into two classes: early and
late
Rapid auxin responses may involve a different receptor
protein
