Abstract: The phytohormone auxin is a key factor in plant growth and development. Forward and reverse genetic strategies have identified important molecular components in auxin perception, signaling, and transport. These advances resulted in the identification of some of the underlying regulatory mechanisms as well as the emergence of functional frameworks for auxin action. This review focuses on the feedback loops that form an integrative part of these regulatory mechanisms.

Local Transcriptional Control of YUCCA Regulates Auxin Promoted Root-Growth Inhibition in Response to Aluminium Stress in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: YUCCA (YUC), which encodes flavin monooxygenase-like proteins, regulates local auxin biosynthesis in the root apex transition zone (TZ) in response to Al stress, and it is demonstrated that PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR4 (PIF4) functions as a transcriptional activator for YUC5/8/9.
Arabidopsis CULLIN3 genes regulate primary root growth and patterning by ethylene-dependent and -independent mechanisms.
Alexis Thomann,Esther Lechner,Maureen Hansen,Eva Dumbliauskas,Yves Parmentier,Joseph J. Kieber,Ben Scheres,Pascal Genschik +7 more
TL;DR: In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, CUL3 regulates plant growth and development, not only during embryogenesis but also at post-embryonic stages, and is essential for the normal division and organisation of the root stem cell niche and columella root cap cells.
Dynamic, auxin-responsive plasma membrane-to-nucleus movement of Arabidopsis BRX.
Emanuele Scacchi,Karen S. Osmont,Julien Beuchat,Paula Salinas,Marisa Navarrete-Gómez,Marina Trigueros,Cristina Ferrándiz,Christian S. Hardtke +7 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that BRX might provide a contextual readout to synchronize cellular growth with the auxin concentration gradient across the root tip, and similar to the PIN-FORMED 1 (PIN1) auxin efflux carrier, BRX is polarly localized in vascular cells and subject to endocytic recycling.

Auxin response under osmotic stress.
Victoria Naser,Eilon Shani +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that auxin-mediated growth inhibition under abiotic stress conditions is one of the developmental and physiological strategies to acclimate to the changing environment.

Current understanding of the interplays between host hormones and plant viral infections.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the current understanding of recent advances for the classical defense hormones salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET).

Local, Efflux-Dependent Auxin Gradients as a Common Module for Plant Organ Formation
Eva Benková,Marta Michniewicz,Michael Sauer,Thomas Teichmann,Daniela Seifertová,Gerd Jürgens,Jiří Friml +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that organ formation in Arabidopsis involves dynamic gradients of the signaling molecule auxin with maxima at the primordia tips, which suggest that PIN-dependent, local auxin gradients represent a common module for formation of all plant organs, regardless of their mature morphology or developmental origin.

The F-box protein TIR1 is an auxin receptor
TL;DR: TIR1 is an auxin receptor that mediates Aux/IAA degradation and auxin-regulated transcription and the loss of TIR1 and three related F-box proteins eliminates saturable auxin binding in plant extracts.

Aux/IAA proteins repress expression of reporter genes containing natural and highly active synthetic auxin response elements.
TL;DR: Cotransfection experiments with natural and synthetic AuxRE reporter genes and effector genes encoding Aux/IAA proteins showed that overexpression of Aux/ IAA proteins in carrot protoplasts resulted in specific repression of TGTCTC Auxre reporter gene expression.

The PIN auxin efflux facilitator network controls growth and patterning in Arabidopsis roots
Ikram Blilou,Jian Xu,Marjolein Wildwater,Viola Willemsen,Ivan A. Paponov,Jiří Friml,Renze Heidstra,Mitsuhiro Aida,Klaus Palme,Ben Scheres +9 more
TL;DR: This work shows that five PIN genes collectively control auxin distribution to regulate cell division and cell expansion in the primary root and reveals an interaction network of auxin transport facilitators and root fate determinants that control patterning and growth of the root primordium.
Efflux-dependent auxin gradients establish the apical–basal axis of Arabidopsis
Jiří Friml,Anne Vieten,Michael Sauer,Dolf Weijers,Dolf Weijers,Heinz Schwarz,Thorsten Hamann,Thorsten Hamann,Remko Offringa,Gerd Jürgens +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicate how the establishment of cell polarity, polar auxin efflux and local auxin response result in apical–basal axis formation of the embryo, and thus determine the axiality of the adult plant.
