Lag, then leg it! An updated two-phase model for axillary bud activation and outgrowth in Arabidopsis
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe mechanisms of apical dominance and bud outgrowth have puzzled generations of plant scientists, and over a century various hypotheses have been scrutinized. Two main hubs of regulation – auxin canalization (movement of auxin from a bud into the main stem) and the branching transcription factors…
