Originally, the idea that spiral grain is due to torsions exerted by wind on asymmetric trees crowns.
Expanded on by Mattheck et al. to the idea that wood fibers tend to lie parallel to the direction of “force flow” in the tree.
However, the stress field is a tensor and inconsistent with vector order. The defects would be different!

Defects rule out strictly mechanical theories

Few published studies of IAA metabolization/synthesis in the cambium.
Sundberg & Uggla, Physiol. Plant. (1998) found that the majority of radiolabelled IAA survived 10 cm of transport through current-year shoots of Pinus sylvestris.
Levels of conjugated IAA are typically < 20% of net IAA.

Canalization model Mitchison 1981
Auxin efflux carriers are recruited to the cell membrane in proportion to the amount of flux through the membrane. i.e. a positive feedback mechanism.
First computer model of vein formation.

Problems with Canalization Models Problems with Mitchison’s canalization model:
1. Low auxin concentration in canal.
2. In leaves, gives branched vein networks instead of closed mesh.
3. Requires a membrane-bound auxin flux sensor.
4. May only work in simplified models that don’t include the apoplast (??).

Easy to fix: include influx carriers or change the regulation of efflux carriers.
Requires additional levels of regulation: moving auxin sources, second signals, or mechanical stress/strain sensors?

A new hypothesis:�Canalization via the cytoplasmic auxin gradient
Kramer TIPS 2009
The full canalization model:
1. If cyt gradient < 1%, cell inactive. No PIN delivered to membrane.
2. If cyt gradient >1%, cell active. PIN produced and delivered to bottom of gradient. Influx carrier (AUX1/LAX) delivered to all membranes.
3. Constitutive PIN endocytosis.

Conclusions
(1) In arabidopsis, models of auxin transport are beginning to illuminate gene function. A new subdiscipline has started.
(2) In Populus, model of auxin transport in the cambium and wood grain pattern formation works well.
(3) Just one example of an auxin-mediated polar regulatory network in plants.
(4) The receptor and signaling pathways for the polar system remain unknown.
