Dissecting Arabidopsis lateral root development
Abstract
Recent studies in the model plant Arabidopsis provide new insight into the regulation of root architecture, a key determinant of nutrient- and water-use efficiency in crops. Lateral root (LR) primordia originate from a subset of pericycle founder cells. Sophisticated mass-spectroscopy-based techniques have been used to map the sites of biosynthesis of auxin and its distribution in Arabidopsis seedlings, highlighting the importance of the phytohormone during LR initiation and emergence. Key components of the cell cycle and signal-transduction pathway(s) that promote and attenuate auxin-dependent LR initiation have recently been identified. Additional signals, such as abscisic acid and nitrate, also regulate LR emergence, raising intriguing questions about the cross-talk between their transduction pathways.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
