Abstract
Polar Auxin transport plays a critical role in mediating auxin signalling. We have identified a family of permease-like LAX (like AUX1) genes in Arabidopsis which regulate IAA transport. Gene knock-out studies have identified a lax3 mutation which exhibits a series of phenotypes classically associated with defective polar auxin transport. This proposal describes how we will identify the basis of the lax3 phenotype and thus provide new insight into the molecular basis of hormone signalling in plants.
