There are so called PIN proteins, or PIN-formed proteins, in plants. What does this acronym mean? (It's not explained even in the link-linked review paper).

Like many genes and gene products, PIN proteins were named for a mutant phenotype and PIN is not actually an acronym; the source in your link does actually explain this (emphasis mine):

The significance and function of AtPIN1 was discovered through the phenotype generated by the loss-of-function mutation in the gene: mutant plants fail to develop floral organs properly and generate naked, pin-like inflorescences, which gave the name PIN-FORMED (PIN) to the family

Křeček, P., Skůpa, P., Libus, J., Naramoto, S., Tejos, R., Friml, J., & Zažímalová, E. (2009). The PIN-FORMED (PIN) protein family of auxin transporters. Genome biology, 10(12), 249.

  Thanks. So it is explained there… (I was lazy to read more than the summary, then I've did just /<[Pp][a-z]+(s|-)[Ii][a-z]+(s|-)[Nn][a-z]+/ regexp search).
