Transport of signaling molecules is of major importance for regulating plant growth, development, and responses to the environment. A prime example is the spatial- distribution of auxin, which is regulated via transporters to govern developmental patterning. A critical limitation in our ability to identify transporters by forward genetic screens is their potential functional redundancy. Here,...
