Various scenarios of the cell pattern formation in Arabidopsis lateral root

Jolanta Białek, Izabela Potocka, Joanna M. Szymanowska-Pułka

Abstract


During lateral root (LR) development a coordinate sequence of cell divisions, accompanied by a change of the organ form takes place. Both the order of anatomical events and morphological features may vary for individual primordia. At early stages of LR primordia development oblique division walls are inserted in cells that are symmetrically located on both sides of the axis of the developing LR primordium, and thereby allow for the protrusion of the LR. We hypothesize that both oblique cell wall insertion and continuous changes in primordium form could be a consequence of a local change in stress distribution in the region of the LR initiation.

Keywords


lateral root formation; sequence of cell divisions; plant organ morphology
