The Center for Active Transport of Plant Hormones (Plant-PATH) is an international research center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. Having opened in May 2025, it focuses on understanding how plants control growth and development through the movement of hormones.

By combining cutting-edge structural biology, biophysics, molecular biology, and plant physiology, Plant-PATH aims to investigate how these transporters function, how their activity is regulated, and how they shape whole-plant responses. The long-term goal is to re-engineer hormone transport systems to develop climate-resilient crops capable of dynamically adapting to environmental stress.

Plant-PATH brings together two groups from Aarhus University (DK), one from Université Libre de Bruxelles (BE), and one from Technical University of Munich (DE), building a unique collaborative platform to pursue these research goals.
