We propose a role for the plant hormone auxin as an integrator of the activities of multiple plant hormones to control plant growth in response to the environment. Plants are sessile organisms and ...

Researchers have learned how drought causes plants to modify their root systems so they grow deeper into the ground to reach ...

This is just like phototropism, in that auxin in the root inhibits growth and auxin in the stem promotes growth.

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access ...

In a stem, the cells on the shaded side contain more auxin and grow longer than the cells on the light side. This causes the stem to grow towards the light. It is vital to note that the plant does ...

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water ...
