Journal ArticleDOI

Arabidopsis WAT1 is a vacuolar auxin transport facilitator required for auxin homoeostasis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that WALLS ARE THIN1 (WAT1), a plant-specific protein that dictates secondary cell wall thickness of wood fibres, facilitates auxin export from isolated Arabidopsis vacuoles in yeast and in Xenopus oocytes, suggesting a key role for the vacuole in intracellular auxin homoeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local auxin biosynthesis modulates gradient-directed planar polarity in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the Raf-like kinase CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE1 (CTR1) acts as a concentration-dependent repressor of a biosynthesis-dependent auxin gradient that modulates planar polarity in the root tip that contributes to gradient homeostasis during long-range coordination of cellular morphogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Truffles Regulate Plant Root Morphogenesis via the Production of Auxin and Ethylene

TL;DR: Results establish the central role of IAA and ethylene as signal molecules in truffle/plant interactions and demonstrate that truffles synthesize ethylene from l-methionine probably through the α-keto-γ-(methylthio)butyric acid pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

AspWood: High-Spatial-Resolution Transcriptome Profiles Reveal Uncharacterized Modularity of Wood Formation in Populus tremula

TL;DR: High spatial resolution of the AspWood large-scale data set enabled identification of novel roles for characterized genes involved in xylan and cellulose biosynthesis, regulators of xylem vessel and fiber differentiation and lignification and regulation of the transcriptome underlying cambial growth and wood formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vectorial Information for Arabidopsis Planar Polarity Is Mediated by Combined AUX1, EIN2, and GNOM Activity

TL;DR: Auxin may provide vectorial information for planar polarity that requires combinatorial AUX1, EIN2, and GNOM activity upstream of ROP positioning, and overproduction in sectors of wild-type roots enhances planar ROP and hair polarity over long and short distances.
