Arabidopsis REGULATOR OF AXILLARY MERISTEMS1 Controls a Leaf Axil Stem Cell Niche and Modulates Vegetative Development
Open accessAbstract
Shoot branching is a major determinant of variation in plant stature. Branches, which form secondary growth axes, originate from stem cells activated in leaf axils. The initial steps by which axillary meristems (AMs) are specified and their stem cells organized are still poorly understood. We identified gain- and loss-of-function alleles at the Arabidopsis thaliana REGULATOR OF AXILLARY MERISTEMS1 (RAX1) locus. RAX1 is encoded by the Myb-like transcription factor MYB37 and is an Arabidopsis homolog of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Blind gene. RAX1 is transiently expressed in a small central domain within the boundary zone separating shoot apical meristem and leaf primordia early in leaf primordium development. RAX1 genetically interacts with CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON (CUC) genes and is required for the expression of CUC2 in the RAX1 expression domain, suggesting that RAX1 acts through CUC2. We propose that RAX1 functions to positionally specify a stem cell niche for AM formation. RAX1 also affects the timing of developmental phase transitions by negatively regulating gibberellic acid levels in the shoot apex. RAX1 thus defines a novel activity that links the specification of AM formation with the modulation of the rate of progression through developmental phases.

“In addition to LAS, the MYB factors REGULATOR OF AXILLARY MERISTEMS1 (RAX1) in Arabidopsis (Keller et al., 2006), as well as BLIND (BL) and POTATO LEAF (C) in tomato (Schmitz et al., 2002; Busch et al., 2011), influence axillary meristem development.”

“Furthermore, a small subgroup of MYB genes, related to the tomato Blind gene, were shown to modulate axillary meristem formation along the shoot axis in tomato (Schmitz et al., 2002) and Arabidopsis (Keller et al., 2006;M€ uller et al., 2006).”

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.
