Evidence is presented to support a role for these genes and for polar auxin transport in establishing the site of organ initiation and maintaining the regular phyllotactic pattern of organ initiation.

Scanlon The maize duplicate genes narrow sheath1 and narrow sheath2 encode a conserved homeobox gene function in a lateral domain of shoot apical meristems Development 131 2004 2827 2839 The ns mutations are duplicate genes that are required for the recruitment of a specific group of founder cells comprising those in the lateral regions of the initiating leaf primordium. The cloning of these genes demonstrates their close relationship to PRS in Arabidopsis. Mutations in prs principally affect floral organ development but this work shows that stipules at the base of the leaf are absent from the prs mutant. Two points of interest result from this work. First, the expression patterns of PRS/ns and the phenotypes of prs/ns mutants correlate with domain-specific founder-cell recruitment. Second, a comparison of the maize and Arabidopsis phenotypes can be interpreted in terms of classical ideas on dicot and monocot leaf morphology.

Specifically, they address the role of these genes in vascular patterning. They demonstrate a correlation between the phenotype of dominant mutations in REV and disruption of the miRNA-binding site. Analysis of loss-of-function mutants in the class III HD-ZIP genes supports a model whereby these genes pattern adaxial-abaxial vascular polarity in the leaf and radial vascular polarity in the stem.

Timmermans microRNA-mediated repression of rolled leaf1 specifies maize leaf polarity Nature 428 2004 84 88 This paper describes the cloning of a classical dominant mutation in maize. rolled leaf1 (rld1) is the maize orthologue of REV in Arabidopsis. The Rld1 phenotype is due to a sequence change in the miRNA-binding site of the gene, as found for dominant mutations in this gene class in Arabidopsis. Expression of the regulatory miRNA occurs in the abaxial leaf and abaxial phloem, in a pattern that complements the expression of the target gene.

In contrast to work described in previous reports, phenotypic analysis of an allelic series and misexpression of downstream targets of AGO1 demonstrate that disruptions of this gene cause a defect in abaxial-fate specification. Consistent with this phenotype, the adaxial gene PHB and its miRNA regulator are misregulated in ago1 mutants, demonstrating regulation of the miR165, and consequently the corresponding target, by AGO1.

The phenotype of gram mutants, their expression pattern, their genetic interactions with phan and clonal analysis are used to derive a model for GRAM function. The authors conclude that GRAM has two functions that are specific to adaxial fate: repression of adaxial fate in the abaxial domain and non-cell-autonomous positive regulation of adaxial fate in the adaxial domain.

Expression data supports a model in which AS2 represses KAN function in a way that is dependent on AS1. These results provide evidence that AS2 and AS1 have potential to pattern dorsoventrality in Arabidopsis.

Some of these phenotypic effects are comparable to the phan mutant phenotype in Antirrhinum whereas others, such as bladeless dorsoventrally patterned regions of the leaf and ectopic outgrowth of leaf lamina from the adaxial leaf surface, are novel. The role of the tobacco NSPHAN in leaf patterning is addressed in terms of these phenotypes. The authors conclude that NSPHAN patterns dorsoventral and proximodistal development.

Genes that are downregulated in jaw-D are TCPs related to CIN in Antirrhinum. The jaw-D mutant phenotype is shown to correspond to misregulation of a miRNA that directly targets several TCP genes. This work correlates the function of a miRNA with target gene expression and addresses the phenotypic effects caused by misexpression of the miRNA as well as mutated versions of the target that are no longer sensitive to miRNA-mediated cleavage.

60. •] describe the phenotype and cloning of a gene, JAGGED (JAG), that is required for elaboration of final leaf shape. This gene appears to function by inhibiting differentiation in lateral organs. Furthermore, ectopic expression of JAG results in ectopic leaf lamina and outgrowth of the cryptic bract at the base of flowers. This evidence demonstrates that JAG is sufficient to induce lamina proliferation. Also, the formation of bracts confirms that these are suppressed features of the Arabidopsis inflorescence.
