A short history of auxin-binding proteins

  • Chapter

Abstract

Plant hormone receptors have proved to be elusive research targets. The successes of describing receptors from animals and bacteria have not yet been matched for plants. Nevertheless, where candidate receptors have been identified, they have been subjected to detailed examination. One such is the protein known as ABP1, an auxin-binding protein first described from maize (Zea mais L.).
