Polar Auxin Transport
The importance of the plant growth regulator auxin for plant growth has long been recognized, even before the discovery of its chemical structures in the early 20th century. Physiological studies in the decades since have demonstrated that auxin is unidir

Preface
The plant hormone auxin plays essential roles in diverse plant developmental processes including morphogenesis, organogenesis, vascular tissue differentiation, and growth responses to biotic and abiotic signals. The involvement of auxin in the broad spectrum of biological processes is mainly mediated by its regulation of cell division, expansion, and differentiation. Experimental evidence
