Abstract

<p>In December 2012, scientists from around the world gathered in Waikoloa, Hawaii for &#39;Auxin 2012&#39;, a meeting organized by Paula McSteen (University of Missouri, USA), Ben Scheres (Utrecht University, The Netherlands) and Yunde Zhao (University of California, San Diego, USA). At the meeting, participants discussed the latest advances in auxin biosynthesis, transport and signaling research, in addition to providing context for how these pathways intersect with other aspects of plant physiology and development. Fittingly, the meeting began with a traditional Hawaiian ceremony that recognized the centrality of the harvest of plant life (&#39;mea ho&#39;oulu&#39; in Hawaiian) for continued human survival.</p>
