Auxin signaling: Research advances over the past 30 years

Zipeng Yu et al.

Summary: Auxin, one of the most widely studied phytohormones, has been a hot topic in plant biology. The advances in understanding auxin signaling, including perception, rapid responses, transcriptional and non-transcriptional branches, and epigenetic regulation, have been highlighted. Feedback inhibition mechanisms and non-canonical signaling have also been explored. Further identification of auxin signaling components and their regulation will deepen our understanding of how auxin signals regulate plant growth and development at the cellular level.

Hydraulic flux-responsive hormone redistribution determines root branching

Poonam Mehra et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates how plant roots adapt their branching patterns to efficiently search for soil water resources under heterogeneous conditions. Xerobranching is regulated by the radial movement of abscisic acid, disrupting intercellular communication to inhibit lateral root branching.

Auxin regulates source-sink carbohydrate partitioning and reproductive organ development in rice

Zhigang Zhao et al.

Summary: This study reveals an auxin signaling cascade regulating carbohydrate partitioning and reproductive organ development in rice. Elevated auxin levels in the rice dao mutant cause altered sucrose accumulation between source and sink tissues, resulting in closed spikelets, indehiscent anthers, and parthenocarpic seeds. The expression of OsARF18 and OsARF2 is significantly affected in the mutant, and their regulation of OsSUT1 contributes to the observed phenotypes.

Rab-dependent vesicular traffic affects female gametophyte development in Arabidopsis

Joanna Rojek et al.

Summary: Research shows that mutations in the gene encoding the beta-subunit of RGT in Arabidopsis plants severely disrupt female gametogenesis, leading to decreased internal transport of auxin and significant developmental arrest in a portion of the female gametophytes. These findings suggest that Rab-dependent vesicular transport is crucial for communication between the sporophyte and the developing female gametophyte.

Auxin efflux controls orderly nucellar degeneration and expansion of the female gametophyte in Arabidopsis

Junzhe Wang et al.

Summary: The nucellus tissue plays a crucial role in plant reproduction by influencing the degeneration of the nucellus and the expansion of the female gametophyte through the regulation of auxin. Auxin efflux is essential for controlling the precise distribution of auxin around the nucellus and the female gametophyte. Maternal tissues control auxin concentration and efflux, serving as a key communication between maternal and filial tissues during development.

An Essential Function for Auxin in Embryo Development

Subodh Verma et al.

Summary: Embryogenesis in seed plants is a complex process involving cell divisions and fate determinations, with auxin playing a crucial role in pattern formation. Auxin controls organ positioning and development in the embryo through its distribution. Biological tools for studying auxin function in embryo development are discussed as they may be of interest.

Plant egg cell fate determination depends on its exact position in female gametophyte

Yang Sun et al.

Summary: Plant fertilization requires successful development of egg and synergid cells, with the final positions of nuclei in the female gametophyte determining cell fate. Artificial manipulation of nuclear positioning can reset cell fate, indicating the critical role of nuclear position in egg apparatus specification. Additionally, directional auxin distribution likely acts as a positional cue for egg apparatus specialization.

Auxin-Regulated Lateral Root Organogenesis

Nicola Cavallari et al.

Summary: Plant fitness depends largely on the root, which supplies water and nutrients to the plant body besides anchoring it. Roots must constantly adjust growth and development in response to environmental signals, including forming lateral roots to increase the root system radius. The plant hormone auxin plays a key role in regulating root system architecture by controlling primary root growth and lateral root formation.

Auxin-Mediated Regulation of Dorsal Vascular Cell Development May Be Responsible for Sucrose Phloem Unloading in Large Panicle Rice

Yao Deng et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that removing superior spikelets from rice plants enhanced grain filling in inferior spikelets by increasing grain weight, sucrose content, starch accumulation, and endogenous IAA levels. The results suggest that auxin may act as a signaling molecule in regulating dorsal vascular cell development and sucrose phloem unloading, thereby playing a vital role in initial grain filling.
