Researchers from the University of Tasmania have provided new insights into auxin, a master plant hormone, and its vital role in starch production—the powerhouse of the world's most important crops.

Auxin, a crucial plant hormone, plays a pivotal role in regulating various aspects of rice growth and development, including cell elongation, root formation, and responses to environmental stimuli.

Plant hormones, also known as phytohormones, are chemicals that regulate plant cell processes. They are signal molecules produced within the plant functioning in extremely low concentrations.
