    GlossaryAuxin Signaling

    plants use a hormone to regulate growth and development

    Auxin signaling, also known as auxin signal transduction, is a process by which plants use the hormone auxin to regulate growth and development. Auxin binds to specific receptors in plant cells, triggering a cascade of molecular events that influence cell division, elongation, and differentiation. This signaling pathway is crucial for various plant functions, including root growth, stem elongation, and response to light and gravity.
