Abstract

Organ primordia develop from founder cells into organs due to coordinated patterns of cell division. How patterned cell division is regulated during organ formation, however, is not well understood. Here, we show that the PUCHI gene, which encodes a putative APETALA2/ethylene-responsive element binding protein transcription factor, is required for the coordinated pattern of cell divisions during lateral root formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Recessive mutations in PUCHI disturbed cell division patterns in the lateral root primordium, resulting in swelling of the proximal region of lateral roots. PUCHI expression was initially detected in all of the cells in early lateral root primordia, and later it was restricted to the proximal region of the primordia. Stable expression of PUCHI required auxin-responsive elements in its promoter region, and exogenous auxin increased the level of PUCHI mRNA accumulation. These results suggest that PUCHI acts downstream of auxin signaling and that this gene contributes to lateral root morphogenesis through affecting the pattern of cell divisions during the early stages of primordium 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.
