Fig 2. Schematic representation of the two different hypotheses for PIN orientation on membranes.

Fig 2

(a) The concentration-based hypothesis: the PIN allocation to membrane ij is enhanced by the auxin concentration in the neighbouring cell j. (b) PIN concentration on membrane ij is increased according to the strength of the auxin flux through it. This mechanism is called the flux-based hypothesis.
