Abstract
Auxins are an important group of hormones found in all
land plants and several soil-dwelling microbes. Although
auxin was the first phytohormone identified, its biosynthesis
remained unclear until recently. In the past few
years, our understanding of auxin biosynthesis has improved
dramatically, to the stage where many believe
there is a single predominant pathway in Arabidopsis
(Arabidopsis thaliana L.). However, there is still uncertainty
over the applicability of these findings to other
plant species. Indeed, it appears that in certain organs of
some species, other pathways can operate. Here we
review the key advances that have led to our current
understanding of auxin biosynthesis and its many proposed
pathways.
