| Abstract |
Auxin is an essential molecule that controls almost every aspect of plant development. Although the core signaling components that control auxin response are well characterized, the precise mechanisms enabling specific responses are not yet fully understood. Considering the significance of auxin in plant growth and its potential applications, deciphering further aspects of its biology is an important and exciting challenge. |
