Innovative biosensor technology has shed light on how plants react to low humidity, revealing that the leaves signal the roots to grow and find water.

Is auxin behind adventitious root formation in petunia cuttings?
Yes, but you'll need nitrogen and somewhere dark.

Hormone-metabolic interactions in adventitious roots
Adventitious roots are roots that form after the plant embryo has grown. They’re the roots that can grow out of stems when you make plant cuttings. Adventitious root formation is a bottleneck for the survival of...

Auxin transport and stem vascular reconnection – has our thinking become canalized?
The presence of a polar auxin transport stream has long been correlated with the differentiation and patterning of vascular cells across vascular plants. As our understanding of auxin transport and vascular development...
Regulatory networks controlling the development of the root system and the formation of lateral roots
The production of a new lateral root from parental root primary tissues has been investigated extensively, and the most important regulatory mechanisms are now well known. A first regulatory mechanism is based on the...
Sugar versus Auxin: which is dominant?
Of the plethora of aspects of plant growth and development that the hormone (OK, plant growth regulator…) auxin is implicated in/involved with (e.g. embryo development, leaf formation, phototropism, gravitropism, fruit...

Auxin, environmental signals and root development (free review article)
Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in auxin–environment interactions can assist development of crops better adapted to stressful environments.

Brachypodium is NOT Arabidopsis(!)
Interactions between plant hormones ethylene and auxin in roots of the monocot Brachypodium distachyon differ to those in roots of the dicot Arabidopsis.
Plant hormones in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses (Research in Context)
Although >80% of species form arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses, the roles of plant hormones in the associations are still being determined. Foo et al. critically review recent progress in our understanding of the...
