Description:
Coordination of cell division and pattern formation is central to tissue and organ development, particularly in plants where walls prevent cell migration. Auxin and cytokinin are both critical for division and patterning, but it is unknown how these hormones converge upon tissue development. We identify a genetic network that reinforces an early embryonic bias in auxin distribution to create a local, nonresponding cytokinin source within the root vascular tissue. Experimental and theoretical evidence shows that these cells act as a tissue organizer by positioning the domain of oriented cell divisions. We further demonstrate that the auxin-cytokinin interaction acts as a spatial incoherent feed-forward loop, which is essential to generate distinct hormonal response zones, thus establishing a stable pattern within a growing vascular tissue.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉De Rybel, Bert -- Adibi, Milad -- Breda, Alice S -- Wendrich, Jos R -- Smit, Margot E -- Novak, Ondrej -- Yamaguchi, Nobutoshi -- Yoshida, Saiko -- Van Isterdael, Gert -- Palovaara, Joakim -- Nijsse, Bart -- Boekschoten, Mark V -- Hooiveld, Guido -- Beeckman, Tom -- Wagner, Doris -- Ljung, Karin -- Fleck, Christian -- Weijers, Dolf -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Aug 8;345(6197):1255215. doi: 10.1126/science.1255215.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Biochemistry, Wageningen University, Dreijenlaan 3, 6703HA Wageningen, the Netherlands. ; LifeGlimmer GmbH, Markelstrasse 38, 12163 Berlin, Germany.
