Caption

Seedling of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana). The magnifying glass shows the root tip. The cell nuclei are coloured from blue to green and yellow to red as the amount of auxin increases. Most of the auxin is located where the inclination (gravitational vector) is greatest. Below: the chemical structure of auxin.
