Journal ArticleDOI
Auxin biosynthesis by the YUCCA flavin monooxygenases controls the formation of floral organs and vascular tissues in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: The YUC gene family is defined and it is shown unequivocally that four of the 11 predicted YUC flavin monooxygenases (YUC1, Y UC2, YUC4, and YUC6) play essential roles in auxin biosynthesis and plant development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auxin Synthesized by the YUCCA Flavin Monooxygenases Is Essential for Embryogenesis and Leaf Formation in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that auxin synthesized by the YUCCA (YUC) flavin monooxygenases is an essential auxin source for Arabidopsis thaliana embryogenesis and postembryonic organ formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genetic data show that Y UC and TAA work in the same pathway and that YUC is downstream of TAA, indicating that TAAs are responsible for converting tryptophan to IPA, whereas YUCs play an important role in converting IPA to indole-3-acetic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auxin binding protein 1 (ABP1) is not required for either auxin signaling or Arabidopsis development.
TL;DR: It is concluded that ABP1 is not a key component in auxin signaling or Arabidopsis development, and the induction of known auxin-regulated genes is similar in both wild-type and abp1 plants in response to auxin treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Effective Strategy for Reliably Isolating Heritable and Cas9-Free Arabidopsis Mutants Generated by CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Genome Editing
TL;DR: A fluorescence-based visual screen allows fast and efficient isolation of Cas9-free Arabidopsis mutants in the T2 generation, and simultaneously targeted two sites in AUXIN-BINDING PROTEIN1 to generate large deletions, which can be easily identified by PCR.
