TIR1-like proteins are F-box auxin receptors. Auxin binding to the F-box receptor proteins promotes the formation of SCFTIR1 ubiquitin ligase complex that targets the auxin repressors, Aux/IAAs, for degradation via the ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway. | Overexpression of plum auxin receptor PslTIR1 in tomato alters plant growth fruit development and fruit shelf-life characteristics
