Abstract

Significance: The modulation of growth and development is central to sessile plants. Shoot and root meristems share almost identical molecular machineries but are responsible for different types of aboveground and underground organogenesis. How two such highly similar biological systems respond to different environmental cues and regulate distinct developmental programs remains largely unknown. We report that, in harmony with nature, the shoot, but not the root, demands light for the activation of cell proliferation during organogenesis. We decipher the underlying mechanism that light is necessary for continuous auxin biosynthesis only in the shoot, but not the root, to activate target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase signaling. We further elucidate an auxin-Rho-related protein 2 (ROP2)-TOR-transcription factors E2Fa,b signaling cascade that integrates different environmental signals to orchestrate plant growth and development.

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.
