Regulating the regulator: The control of auxin transport
Article Abstract:
A study summarizes identified molecular key players in polar auxin transport and points towards known interactions of these players in response to developmental or environmental stimuli to discuss the processes underlying the regulation of auxin transport facilitators. Extensive evidence is generated that link a variety of plant signalling pathways to the regulation of auxin transport.

Plant hormones and homeoboxes: bridging the gap?
Article Abstract:
Recent development in KNOTTED1-like HOMEOBOX (KNOX) pathway functions, the interconnections between KNOX genes and hormones and the way in which they regulate shoot development are reviewed. However, it remains to be seen whether other development genes act as regulators of the hormone activities or is it a KNOX gene specific function.

TIRs of joy: New receptors for auxin
Article Abstract:
The identification of a family of receptors for the plant hormone auxin is described. This has shown that Transport Inhibitor Response 1 itself is also the binding site for auxin making it an auxin receptor with no requirement for a biochemical signalling cascade.
