Transport of signaling molecules is major importance for regulating plant growth, development, and responses to the environment. A prime example spatial-distribution auxin, which regulated via transporters govern developmental patterning. critical limitation in our ability identify by forward genetic screens their potential functional redundancy. Here, we overcome part this redundancy a transportome, multi-targeted forward-genetic screen using artificial-microRNAs (amiRNAs). We generate...
Plants have evolved a unique and conserved developmental program that enables the conversion of leaves into floral organs. Elegant genetic molecular work has identified key regulators flower meristem identity. However, further understanding specification been hampered by redundancy pleiotropic effects. The KNOXI transcription factor SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) is well-characterized regulator shoot apical maintenance. Arabidopsis thaliana stm loss-of-function mutants arrest shortly after...
Abstract Clonal propagation of plants by induction adventitious roots (ARs) from stem cuttings is a requisite step in breeding programs. A major barrier exists for propagating valuable that naturally have low capacity to form ARs. Due the central role auxin organogenesis, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) often used as part commercial rooting mixtures, yet many recalcitrant do not ARs response this treatment. Here, we describe synthesis and screening focused library synthetic conjugates Eucalyptus...
Abstract Root branching is an important strategy to explore efficiently large volumes of soil. To economize this process, lateral roots (LR) are formed along the growing root at discrete positions that instructed by oscillating auxin signals derived from cap (LRC). This assumes moves LRC across multiple layers accumulate in pericycle. Here, we identified, using gene silencing and CRISPR based approaches, a group five genetically linked, closely related ABCBs control LR spacing modulating...
