Catalase uses the H2O2 to oxidize a variety of other substrates (formic acid, formaldehyde, and alcohol) by the “peroxidation” reaction.

Auxin moving downward from the shoot moves basipetally (toward the base) until it reaches the root–shoot junction.

From that point, downward movement is described as acropetal (toward the apex). Movement of auxin from the apex of the root toward the root–shoot junction is also described as basipetal (toward the base).

PIN1 mediates vertical transport of IAA from the shoot to the root along the embryonic apical–basal axis and creates an auxin sink that drives basipetal auxin transport upward from the root apex via PIN2 efflux carriers.

PIN7 and PIN3 are thought to redirect auxin back into vascular parenchymal tissue, where polar transport takes place.
