TL;DR: A mutually inhibitory feedback loop between auxin and cytokinin that sets distinct boundaries of hormonal output is presented and it is an intriguing possibility that such a mechanism could transform radial patterns and allow continuous vascular connections between other newly emerging organs.

TL;DR: Using combined methods of genetics, proteomics and RNA biochemistry, a core set of mRNA m6A writer proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana were identified and downregulation of these proteins led to reduced relative m 6A levels and shared pleiotropic phenotypes, indicating that correct m6 a methylation plays a role in developmental decisions during pattern formation.

TL;DR: A role for long-distance basipetal transport of cytokinin is demonstrated in controlling polar auxin transport and maintaining the vascular pattern in the root meristem through symplastic connections in the phloem.

TL;DR: The rich interconnections between the synthesis, perception and transport networks of these plant hormones provide a wide range of opportunities for them to modulate, amplify or buffer one another.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel gene, PHLOEM UNLOADING MODULATOR (PLM), was reported, in which plasmodesmata-mediated symplastic transport through the phloem pole pericycle-endodermis interface is specifically enhanced.
