The IAA-influx carrier at the plasmalemma: Properties, regulation, and function in auxin transduction

  • Chapter

  • 89 Accesses

Abstract

The signal perceotion of auxin was investigated by in vitro binding assays using both microsomal and purified plasma membrane preparations obtained from auxin-dependent carrot suspension cultures at the logarithmic growth phase. All the results presented point to the occurrence of an IAA-influx, but not to an auxin receptor, at the plant plasma membrane. Furthermore it is assumed that the activity of the IAA-influx carrier is regylated by a GTP-binding protein. At take the physicochemical properties of IAA into considertion the experimental findings will be discussed in order to suggest that the IAA-influ carrier at the plasmalemma is the site responsible for signal perception and transduction of auxin by plant cells.
