Before auxin distribution matters: Prepatterning of the Arabidopsis embryo axis by MPK6-dependent AUX/IAA8 phosphorylation

In growth and development of plants, the signaling molecule auxin plays an instrumental role.

In growth and development of plants, the signaling molecule auxin plays an instrumental role. Many patterning processes are controlled by auxin signaling in a self-organizing matter. After fertilization, such a patterning process needs to be started for the first time during…
