The role of auxin transport in the control of shoot branching
Branching is a highly plastic trait, enabling plants to adapt their growth form in response to environmental stimuli. In flowering plants, shoot branching is regulated through the activity of axillary buds, which grow into branches. Several classes of plant hormones have been shown to play pivotal …

The role of strigolactone and auxin in the regulation of shoot branching
Shoot branching is an essential ecological and agronomical trait regulated by the complex interaction of many signals, of which phytohormones are among the main actors. In this thesis I investigate the role of strigolactone and auxin in controlling bud growth dynamics and their effect on plant …

The hormonal regulation of PIN protein localisation and its relevance to shoot architecture
Shoot branching plasticity relies on integration of diverse signals to regulate the activity of buds, which is partially mediated through auxin transport by PINs and the regulation thereof. Whilst PIN behaviour has been well characterised, the mechanisms by which PINs sense and respond to auxin, …

Regulatory dynamics of axillary bud competition in Arabidopsis
The branching architecture of a plant depends on the activity of its axillary buds, which are continuously produced during development. Each axillary bud can either stay dormant or activate to form a branch, giving rise to a large number of possible branching forms. Whether a bud activates depends …
