DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Auxins are key plant hormones that regulate near
 ly every aspect of plant growth and development\, and their distributi
 on within plant tissues depends on a diverse set of transport proteins
  with distinct biochemical and structural features. In this lecture\, 
 I will present recent advances in our understanding of auxin transport
 \, with a particular focus on the PIN-FORMED family of auxin efflux ca
 rriers. Recent structural breakthroughs have significantly deepened ou
 r insight into how these transporters function at the molecular level\
 , revealing new details of the auxin export process. These findings al
 so shed light on the mode of action of synthetic auxinic herbicides su
 ch as 2\,4-D and TIBA. Building on these developments\, I will discuss
  how emerging data are reshaping current models of the auxin transport
 er network and its role in directing hormone distribution throughout t
 he plant. A deeper understanding of auxin transport mechanisms is esse
 ntial not only for decoding fundamental principles of plant growth and
  development\, but also for advancing strategies in crop improvement a
 nd plant biotechnology. Host: Prof. Dr. Uwe Sonnewald Uwe.sonnewald@fa
