The production of a new lateral root from parental root primary tissues has been investigated extensively, and the most important regulatory mechanisms are now well known. A first regulatory mechanism is based on the...

Lateral root initiation and formation in Cucurbita pepo: is auxin a key player?
In most plant species, initiation of lateral roots occurs above the elongation zone. However, in Cucurbitaceae it takes place in the parental root meristem. Ilina et al. investigate the first cellular events leading to...
LBD29 and lateral root initiation in arabidopsis
LBD29 (LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN 29) is an important molecule downstream of the auxin response factors ARF7 and ARF19, and has a role in lateral root formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Feng et al. combine...
