The synthesis of naturally occurring auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in plants can be divided into two categories: tryptophan (Trp)-dependent and Trp-independent pathways (Tivendale et al, 2014)
Within the last 1 year, four different Opinions or Letters published in the journal Trends in Plant Science argue whether or not Trp-dependent auxin biosynthesis in plants originates from the charophyte species (Huang et al, 2014; Wang et al, 2014; Yue et al, 2014; Turnaev et al, 2015), which are freshwater plants closely related to land plants during evolution
Summary
Reviewed by: Jan Petrášek, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic Frantisek Baluska, University of Bonn, Germany. Rethinking the Origin of Auxin Biosynthesis in Plants. Genetic studies have demonstrated the Trp-dependent pathway as the main route for auxin biosynthesis in plants. Within the last 1 year, four different Opinions or Letters published in the journal Trends in Plant Science argue whether or not Trp-dependent auxin biosynthesis in plants originates from the charophyte species (Huang et al, 2014; Wang et al, 2014; Yue et al, 2014; Turnaev et al, 2015), which are freshwater plants closely related to land plants during evolution.
