Hormones have been at the centre of plant physiology research for more than a century. Research into plant hormones (phytohormones) has at times been considered as a rather vague subject, but the systematic application of genetic and molecular techniques has led to key insights that have revitalized the field. In this review, we will focus on the plant hormone auxin and its action. We will highlight recent mutagenesis and molecular studies, which have delineated the pathways of auxin transport, perception and signal transduction, and which together define the roles of auxin in controlling growth and patterning.
一个多世纪以来，激素一直是植物生理学研究的核心。对植物激素（植物生长素）的研究有时被认为是一个相当模糊的课题，但遗传和分子技术的系统应用带来了关键的见解，使该领域得以复兴。在这篇综述中，我们将重点关注植物激素生长素及其作用。我们将突出近期的诱变和分子研究，这些研究描绘了生长素运输、感知和信号转导的途径，共同界定了生长素在控制生长和模式形成中的作用。
