Abstract excerpt
An asymmetric auxin distribution pattern is assumed to underlie the tropic responses of seed plants. It is unclear, however, whether this pattern is required for root negative phototropism. We here demonstrate that asymmetric auxin distribution is not required to establish root phototropism in Arabidopsis. Our detailed analyses of auxin reporter genes indicate that auxin accumulates on the irradiated side of...
