Auxin is a hormone that is essential for the development of plants as it controls a wide range of processes. Previously, it was believed that auxin's main signaling mechanism acted only by regulating gene transcription. Now, scientists have demonstrated that another mechanism exists, and that cells in the roots must be able to respond to auxin immediately. This mechanism enables rapid adaption of root growth direction.
