Plant biology: Auxin action
Judy Callis1
Abstract
Farmers and gardeners have long taken advantage of the growth-altering properties of the plant hormone auxin. The discovery of the elusive auxin receptor hints at how plant cells 'sense' and respond to this protein.
Even after 125 years of research in plant biology, we cannot answer the puzzle posed by this jaunty children's nursery rhyme:Oats and beans and barley grow,
