Auxin: at the crossroads between chemistry and biology [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
As synthetic auxins are valuable tools for dissecting the chemistry and biology of auxin, it is important to understand the mechanisms of their transport compared to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The discovery of auxin was followed by enthusiastic attempts to synthesize more plant growth-promoting substances similar to IAA. The formation of auxin gradients is essential for many different developmental events such as specification of apical and basal axes in the embryo, maintenance of meristematic activity, formation of leaves, lateral roots, flowers and hypocotyls, and root bending. The application of structurally different auxin-like molecules, together with the development of molecular biology and biochemical techniques, has deepened the understanding of how auxin works and what its characteristics are. Furthermore, the use of small molecules as tools to perturb the complex pathways of auxin metabolism, transport and signalling has greatly assisted our journey of understanding.
