Integrating hormone signaling and patterning mechanisms in plant development.
Plant growth and development are driven by the bustling integration of a vast number of signals, among which plant hormones dominate. Understanding the role of hormones in particular developmental events requires their integration with developmental regulators known to be specific to those events. Using the increasing number of tools that can be utilized to probe hormone biosynthesis, transport and response, several recent studies have taken such an integrative approach, and in so doing have contributed to a clearer picture of precisely how hormones control plant development.
