Figure 3. Auxin Transport Model of Organ Initiation in the Shoot Apex.

Figure 3

Auxin export proteins (red arrows) pump auxin toward auxin convergence points (blue) that cause organ initiation. Auxin is drained from surrounding tissue, inhibiting the formation of new primordia nearby. Adapted from [20].
