TL;DR: This work shows that five PIN genes collectively control auxin distribution to regulate cell division and cell expansion in the primary root and reveals an interaction network of auxin transport facilitators and root fate determinants that control patterning and growth of the root primordium.

TL;DR: It is shown that the putative transcription factor SCR, first identified by its role in radial patterning, is required cell-autonomously for distal specification of the QC, which in turn regulates stem cell fate of immediately surrounding cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that local reduction of expression of the RBR gene in Arabidopsis roots increases the amount of stem cells without affecting cell cycle duration in mitotically active cells, and genetic interactions suggest that these factors function in a canonical RBR pathway to regulate somatic stem cells.

TL;DR: Only a few studies have been carried out to chart protein–lipid interactions in a systematic fashion, and these findings imply an intricate interplay between proteins and lipids.

TL;DR: Additional alg-1-regulated processes are revealed, a previously unknown function of Wnt ligands in seam tissue polarity is uncovered, and it is shown that Wnt signaling and geometric cues redundantly control the seam cell division axis.
