Abstract excerpt
Auxin regulates most aspects of flowering-plant growth and development, including key developmental innovations that evolved within the vascular plant lineage after diverging from a bryophyte-like ancestor nearly 500 million years ago. Recent studies in Arabidopsis indicate that auxin acts by directly binding the TIR1 subunit of the SCF(TIR1) ubiquitin ligase; this binding results in degradation of the Aux/IAA...
