Progress in understanding the role of auxin in lateral organ development in plants
Plants continuously produce lateral organs from the shoot apex such as leaves and flowers, providing an excellent opportunity to study their development. The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in this process by promoting organ formation where it accumulates due to polar auxin transport. Recen...

| Summary: | Plants continuously produce lateral organs from the shoot apex such as leaves and flowers, providing an excellent opportunity to study their development. The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in this process by promoting organ formation where it accumulates due to polar auxin transport. Recently, the use of live-imaging, fine perturbation techniques and computational modelling has helped researchers make exciting progress in addressing long-standing questions on plant organogenesis, not only regarding the role of auxin in promoting growth but also on the regulation of morphogenesis and transcriptional control. In this review, we discuss a number of recent studies that address these points, with particular reference to how auxin acts in early leaf development and in leaf shape. |
