Abstract :

Starch is a vital nutrient and the main source of carbohydrates for plant growth. While starch is essential for plants' energy source, a network of hormonal signals controls growth and development and auxin is especially important in this case. According to current research, auxin is a plant hormone that affects gene expression and enzyme activity and leads to enhanced starch production. This review includes research on auxin synthesis and regulatory mechanisms, including its impact on starch synthase expression and interactions with cytokinin’s and gibberellins. The article covers the role of auxin in starch deposition across major crops like rice, maize, and peas as well as its impact on grain filling and kernel development. This review also discusses future ideas for altering auxin pathways to increase crop yields. The promise of auxin-based interventions to enhance agricultural productivity and global food security as well as future research is highlighted.
