Abstract
Auxins are plant hormones that control the growth and development of plants. Herein, we determined whether we could efficiently transport xenobiotic auxin into leaves and if so, whether this supply could enhance the metabolism and CO2 capturing ability.
By exploring a series of dioxolanes as potential enhancers of auxin transport, we discovered for the first time that a small molecular compound, 2,2-dimethy1-1,3-dioxolane (DMD), enhances the xenobiotic auxin transport to leaves, which boosts the metabolism that is measured by H2O2 production as well as CO2 capturing ability in leaves.
