“…In vitro, however, TIR1 displays a marked preference for the natural auxin IAA over 2,4-D (Dharmasiri et al, 2003a;Kepinski and Leyser, 2005), suggesting that discriminatory mutant phenotypes do not necessarily reflect receptor affinity differences. In addition, the antiauxin resistant1 mutant displays resistance to 2,4-D and p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid, but not IAA or 1-napthaleneacetic acid (Rahman et al, 2006). Moreover, a gain-of-function mutation in PDR9, which encodes a pleiotropic drug resistance transporter, reduces responsiveness to 2,4-D, but not IAA, IBA, or p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid (Ito and Gray, 2006).…”
