Chapter Twelve - Auxin Biology and Biosynthesis

摘要: This chapter discusses the recent advances in understanding auxin biosynthesis from both a biological and analytical perspective. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is most abundant of naturally occurring auxins, terms IAA are used interchangeably throughout. To more clearly differentiate among multiple predicted synthesis pathways, future analysis needs to involve quantification levels rates metabolites than just IAA. Furthermore, clear evidence for cross-talk between homeostasis pathways other hormonal or metabolic networks necessitates broader metabolite profiling get at these interactions. In addition need internal standards, cellular resolution down subcellular level next big technological challenge associated with characterization homeostasis.
