Robustness and specialization among hormone transporters: Redundant and unique roles
Plant growth and development is governed by finely tuned, highly regulated hormone gradients. Impressive progress has been made in understanding plant hormone signaling, but knowledge on the mechanisms underlying their precise localization at the tissue and subcellular levels is still very limited. We and others have recently identified the first bona fide GA transporters in plants as members of the NPF protein family. Proteins from the ABC family were shown to transport the CK, ABA, and auxin hormones. Although these studies suggested specialized functions for members of these large protein families, progress in understanding their level of specialization has been limited by the scarcity…
