Abstract Plants have the remarkable ability to regenerate whole organisms through formation of pluripotent cell masses from somatic cells. Cellular programs leading fate change cells resembles lateral root (LR) and both are chiefly regulated by auxin. Brassinosteroid signalling also plays an important role during LR but little is known about direct link between auxin brassinosteroid components, such as BZR1 BES1, in relation pluripotency acquisition. Here we show that gain-of-function...
Abstract Auxin dictates root architecture via the Response Factor (ARF) family of transcription factors, which control lateral (LR) formation. In Arabidopsis , ARF7 regulates specification prebranch sites (PBS) generating LRs through gene expression oscillations and plays a pivotal role during LR initiation. Despite importance in this process, there is surprising lack knowledge about how turnover regulated impacts architecture. Here, we show that accumulates autophagy mutants degraded...
