Bøker av Dolf Weijers

Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection covers recent insights into how auxin levels are regulated and, in turn, drive various developmental processes in plants. The contributors discuss the biosynthesis, conjugation, and degradation of auxin, the various transporters, receptors, and transcription factors involved in auxin signaling, the interactions of auxin with other plant hormones, and how these are spatiotemporally coordinated. The roles of auxin in specific organs and tissuesDLthe shoot apical meristem, roots, vasculature, and flowersDLare described in detail. The evolutionary history of auxin signaling and its roles in environmental responses (e.g., plantâ€"pathogen interactions) are also reviewed.
