Auxin is an essential regulator of plant organogenesis. Most key genes in auxin biosynthesis, transport, and signaling belong to gene families, making it difficult to conduct genetic analysis of auxin action in plant development. Herein we report the functional analysis of several members of 2 gene families (NPY/ENP/MAB4 genes and AGC kinases) in auxin-mediated organogenesis and their relationships with the YUC family of flavin monooxygenases that are essential for auxin biosynthesis. We show th ...[more]
