Do trees grow on money? Auxin as the currency of the cellular economy, Nemhauser J L and Stewart J L, Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol, 2010, Volume 2, Issue 2, p.a001420 (2010)
Auxin plays a role in nearly every aspect of a plant's life. Signals from the developmental program, physiological status, and encounters with other organisms all converge on the auxin pathway. The molecular mechanisms facilitating these interactions are diverse; yet, common themes emerge. Auxin can be regulated by modulating rates of biosynthesis, conjugation, and transport, as well as sensitivity of a cell to the auxin signal. In this article, we describe some well-studied examples of auxin's interactions with other pathways.
