  Auxin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Auxins are often used to promote root growth as a main compound of rooting stimulators (beneficial mainly in horticulture for treating of stem cuttings).
Auxin employment begins in the embryo of the plant, where directional distribution of auxin ushers in subsequent growth and development of primary growth poles, then forms buds of future organs.
Since Auxin attracts nutrients to the cell where it is, this transport of auxin away from sugar synthesis may partly explain the transport of sugar in the phloem to the roots.

 Auxin
An auxin transporter — one of the PIN proteins — is inserted in the plasma membrane at the lateral face of cells of the shoot.
The localized accumulation of auxin in epidermal cells of the root initiates the formation of lateral or secondary roots.
Auxin (IAA) is actively transported into cells by a transmembrane transporter and leaves the cells by facilitated diffusion through a different transporter.

 auxin. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Auxins affect numerous plant processes, e.g., cell division and elongation, autumnal loss of leaves, and the formation of buds, roots, flowers, and fruit.
It is known that phototropism is due to the inhibition of auxins by light; the cells on that side of a plant exposed to light do not divide or grow as quickly as those on the shaded side, and thus the plant grows toward the light source.
Auxins are widely used commercially to produce more vigorous growth, to promote flowering and fruiting and also root formation in plants not easily propagated by stem cuttings, to retard fruit drop, and to produce seedless varieties (e.g., of tomatoes) by parthenogenetic fruiting.

 auxin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Auxins influence many aspects of plant growth and development, including cell enlargement, inhibition of development of axillary buds, tropisms, and the initiation of roots.
Auxin affects cell division mainly at the tip, because it is here that cell division in a stem or root mainly occurs.
Synthetic auxins are used in hormone rooting powders to encourage cuttings to root.

 What does the term auxin mean?
A key component in the growth response of the cells to auxin is the proton pumps located in the plasma membrane.
The proton pumps are stimulated by the auxin, in the shoots region of elongation.
Auxin also affects secondary growth by influencing the differentiation of secondary xylem: this is all in addition to stimulating cell elongation.

 Auxins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Compounds are generally considered auxins if they can be characterized by their ability to induce cell elongation in stems and otherwise resemble indoleacetic acid (the first auxin isolated) in physiological activity.
Auxins usually affect other processes in addition to cell elongation of stem cells but this characteristic is considered critical of all auxins and thus "helps" define the hormone (Arteca, 1996; Mauseth, 1991; Raven, 1992; Salisbury and Ross, 1992).
The term comes from the Greek auxein meaning "to grow." Compounds are generally considered auxins if they are synthesized by the plant and are substances which share similar activity to IAA (the first auxin to be isolated from plants) (Arteca, 1996; Davies, 1995).

 Plant Physiology Online: Exploring the Cellular Basis of Polar Auxin Transport
In tropic growth, auxin is diverted laterally to one side of the plant stem or root; therefore, As a result, the cells in that portion of the stem or root below the point of redistribution elongate.
Auxin is thus thought to maintain cellular polarity and, as a result, its own asymmetric transport mechanism.
Auxin has been reported to stimulate IAA transport (Rayle et al., 1969) and is generally thought to be required for the establishment of both embryonic polarity (Geldner et al., 2000) and auxin transport pathways themselves (reviewed by Berleth and Sachs, 2001).

 Bennett Lab Research - Auxin Transport
Auxins represent important hormonal regulators of plant development (reviewed by Swarup et al, 2001).
Studies using auxin efflux carrier inhibitors have demonstrated that the polarity of auxin movement provides an important developmental signal during embryogenesis, lateral root initiation (Casimiro et al, 2001), gravitropism (Marchant et al, 1999), vascular patterning and leaf phyllotaxis.
Plants treated with this new class of auxin transport inihibitor exhibit defects in root gravitropism (Parry et al, 2001) and embryo patterning (James & Bennett, unpub.

The plant hormone, auxin, has been linked to root formation, but the actual pathway of its action has, until recently, remained a mystery.
