Jasmonate signalling: a copycat of auxin signalling?

Expression of the jasmonate signalling repressor JAZ 1 / TIFY 10 A is stimulated by auxin

Expression of the Arabidopsis jasmonate signalling repressor JAZ1/TIFY10A is stimulated by auxin.

Plant hormones have pivotal roles in almost every aspect of plant development. Over the past decades, physiological and genetic studies have revealed that hormone action in plants is determined by complex interactions between hormonal signalling pathways. Evidence is accumulating for the existence of crosstalk between the auxin and jasmonate (JA) signalling pathways. Recently, the JASMONATE ZIM...

Dynamic Integration of Auxin Transport and Signalling

Recent years have seen rapid progress in our understanding of the mechanism of action of the plant hormone auxin. A major emerging theme is the central importance of the interplay between auxin signalling and the active transport of auxin through the plant to create dynamic patterns of auxin accumulation. Even in tissues where auxin distribution patterns appear stable, they are the product of s...

Molecular interaction of jasmonate and phytochrome A signalling.

The phytochrome family of red (R) and far-red (FR) light receptors (phyA-phyE in Arabidopsis) play important roles throughout plant development and regulate elongation growth during de-etiolation and under light. Phytochromes regulate growth through interaction with the phytohormones gibberellin, auxin, and brassinosteroid. Recently it has been established that jasmonic acid (JA), a phytohormon...

A Modular Analysis of the Auxin Signalling Network

Auxin is essential for plant development from embryogenesis onwards. Auxin acts in large part through regulation of transcription. The proteins acting in the signalling pathway regulating transcription downstream of auxin have been identified as well as the interactions between these proteins, thus identifying the topology of this network implicating 54 Auxin Response Factor (ARF) and Aux/IAA (...
