Molekulare Biophysik Zoologie Referent: Prof.Dr.Klaus Palme FRIAS – Freiburg Institute of Advanced Studies, Centre for Systems Biology, Institute of Biology II/Botany, Faculty of Biology, University of Freiburg (Germany) Thema: Auxin in action: signalling, transport and the control of plant growth Hormones have been at the centre of plant physiology research for more than a century. Research into plant hormones has at times been considered as a rather vague subject, but the systematic application of genetic and molecular techniques has led to key insights that have revitalized the field. In this talk I will focus on the plant hormone auxin and its action, highlight recent mutagenesis and molecular studies, which have delineated the pathways of auxin transport, perception and signal transduction, and which together define the roles of auxin in controlling growth and patterning. Particular emphasis will be given to the temporal and spatial dynamics of auxin-regulated gene expression. Our analysis provides a roadmap for auxin-dependent processes underpinning the concept of an ‘auxin code’: a tissue-specific fingerprint of gene expression that initiates specific developmental processes.
