The phytohormone auxin is a key factor in plant growth and development. Forward and reverse genetic strategies have identified important molecular components in auxin perception, signaling, and transport. These advances resulted in the identification of some of the underlying regulatory mechanisms as well as the emergence of functional frameworks for auxin action. This review focuses on the feedback loops that form an integrative part of these regulatory mechanisms.
植物激素生长素是植物生长发育中的关键因素。正向和反向遗传学策略已经确定了生长素感知、信号传导和运输中的重要分子成分。这些进展使得一些潜在的调控机制得以确定,同时也出现了生长素作用的功能框架。本综述重点关注构成这些调控机制一部分的反馈回路。
