ABP1

ABP1 (Auxin Binding Protein 1) is a protein found in plants that helps detect and respond to the plant hormone auxin. Auxin influences plant growth by regulating processes like cell elongation, division, and development. ABP1 acts as a receptor, binding to auxin outside the cell and transmitting signals inside to coordinate growth responses. It plays a crucial role in shaping plant tissues and enabling plants to adapt to their environment. Understanding ABP1 helps scientists learn how plants control their growth at the molecular level.
