Three publications about one enzyme – how DAO1 controls plant growth and development by inactivation of auxin
Publicerad: 26 september 2016
PNAS has published this week at the same time three articles that focus on one enzyme, the dioxygenase for auxin oxidation 1 (DAO1). This enzyme catalyses the oxidation and thereby inactivation of auxin, a plant hormone important for the regulation of plant growth and development. Researchers from Umeå Plant Science Centre contributed to two of these articles while the third is published by a separate research group.
