Auxin Paves the Way for Planar Morphogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The coordinated growth of epidermal cells in plant leaves creates the characteristic jigsaw puzzle appearance of the pavement cells. Now, Xu et al. (2010) report that AUXIN-BINDING PROTEIN 1 mediates auxin activation of two GTPase pathways that antagonistically control planar morphogenesis of leaf epidermal cells to create this distinctive pattern.

Auxin influx importers modulate serration along the leaf margin
Leaf shape in Arabidopsis is modulated by patterning events in the margin that utilize a PIN-based auxin exporter/CUC2 transcription factor system to define regions of promotion and retardation of growth, leading to morphogenesis. In addition to auxin exporters, leaves also express auxin importers, notably members of the AUX1/LAX family. In contrast to their established roles in embryogenesis, ...
متن کاملPlanar polarity of root hair positioning in Arabidopsis.
The co-ordinated polarity of cells within the plane of a single tissue layer (planar polarity) is intensively studied in animal epithelia but has only recently been systematically analysed in plants. The polar positioning of hairs in the root epidermis of Arabidopsis thaliana provides an easily accessible system for the functional dissection of a plant-specific planar polarity. Recently, mutant...
متن کاملThe Arabidopsis IDD14, IDD15, and IDD16 Cooperatively Regulate Lateral Organ Morphogenesis and Gravitropism by Promoting Auxin Biosynthesis and Transport
The plant hormone auxin plays a critical role in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development, and the spatial accumulation of auxin within organs, which is primarily attributable to local auxin biosynthesis and polar transport, is largely responsible for lateral organ morphogenesis and the establishment of plant architecture. Here, we show that three Arabidopsis INDETERMINATE DOM...

متن کاملAuxin regulates SNARE-dependent vacuolar morphology restricting cell size
The control of cellular growth is central to multicellular patterning. In plants, the encapsulating cell wall literally binds neighbouring cells to each other and limits cellular sliding/migration. In contrast to its developmental importance, growth regulation is poorly understood in plants. Here, we reveal that the phytohormone auxin impacts on the shape of the biggest plant organelle, the vac...
