Regulation of shoot branching by auxin
Abstract
The idea that apically derived auxin inhibits shoot branching by inhibiting the activity of axillary buds was first proposed 70 years ago, but it soon became clear that its mechanism of action was complex and indirect. Recent advances in the study of axillary bud development and of auxin signal transduction are allowing a better understanding of the role of auxin in controlling shoot branching. These studies have identified a new role for auxin early in bud development as well as some of the second messengers involved in mediating the branch-inhibiting effects of auxin.

In plants like Arabidopsis, the meristem is not formed de novo but built as a detached meristem.
“In conclusion, these data provide evidence that also in plants like Arabidopsis, where the meristem appears at later stages of development, the meristem is not formed de novo but built as a detached meristem (Leyser, 2003; Bennett and Leyser, 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
