Popis: Auxin plays important roles in almost all aspects of plant growth and development. Chemical genetics is an effective approach to understand auxin action, especially in nonmodel plant species, in which auxin-related mutants are not yet available. Among auxin-related chemical tools, we present approaches to utilize auxin biosynthesis inhibitors. The inhibitors are effective not only to understand auxin biosynthesis but also to understand auxin action. The effectiveness of the inhibitors can be assessed based on in vitro or in vivo assays. The in vitro assay employs enzyme inhibition assays. The in vivo assay employs UPLC-MS/MS-based analysis of endogenous IAA and its intermediates or metabolites.
