Sandberg A PINOID-dependent binary switch in apical-basal PIN polar targeting directs auxin afflux Science 306 2004 862 865 Overexpression of the PINOID (PID) protein kinase results in a basal-to-apical shift of the auxin efflux carrier PIN1. Hence, PID levels can determine PIN localisation, and because the PID levels are known to be controlled by auxin, PID appears to be central for a feedback mechanism by which auxin controls its own flow. This provides a mechanism for the canalisation model for the self-organising property of procambium formation.

A complex pattern of interactions between the HD-ZIPIII genes is thereby revealed.

This indicates that microRNAs are required for spatial control of a HD-ZIPIII-mediated indeterminate growth of both the apical and vascular meristems.

Timmermans microRNA-mediated repression of rolled leaf1 specifies maize leaf polarity Nature 428 2004 84 88 The expression of miR166 spatially defines the expression domain of the maize REV homologue rolled leaf1, supporting a conservation of microRNA regulation of HD-ZIPIII expression in monocots and dicots. Further, the expression of miR166 in the phloem might indicate that it forms a movable signal from below the incipient leaf, thereby controlling the polarity of the organ.

Ye amphivasal bundle 1, a gain-of-function mutation of the IFL1/REV gene, is associated with alterations in the polarity of leaves, stems and carpels Plant Cell Physiol 45 2004 369 385 In the avb1 mutant stem, vascular bundles have xylem surrounding phloem and the mutants also display other organ polarity defects. The authors show that avb1 has a mutation in the microRNA target sequence of REV, and that this inhibits cleavage of the REV mRNA.

21. C.A. Kidner, and R.A. Martienssen Spatially restricted microRNA directs leaf polarity through ARGONAUTE1 Nature 428 2004 81 84 The authors show that miRNA165 initially accumulates in the apical meristem and then in the abaxial domain of the developing leaf in an AGO1-dependant manner. The expression of PHB is complementary to the pattern of miR165 accumulation and is altered in the ago1 mutant background. An allelic series of ago1 mutants with varying polarity defects and interactions with HD-ZIPIII genes indicates that miRNA acts as a signal to specify leaf polarity.

They show that both HD-ZIP and KANADI genes may be involved in lateral root ontogeny, and that the HD-ZIPIII genes are required for pericycle meristematic activity, but that neither is required for root vascular patterning.

BRL1 and BRL3 are specifically expressed in the vasculature, and mutational analyses suggest that these two novel brassinosteroid receptors function in the vasculature to control of the proliferation of phloem as opposed to xylem tissue.

A role for ATHB15 in the control of vascular proliferation is supported by the phenotype of plants that ectopically express a miR166 resistant version of ATHB15.

50. H. Motose, M. Sugiyama, and H. Fukuda A proteoglycan mediates inductive interaction during plant vascular development Nature 429 2004 873 878 Xylogen is identified as a proteoglycan protein. It is located apically in undifferentiated xylem cells. In tissue culture, secretion of xylogen from young tracheary elements induces neighbouring cells to transdifferentiate. Lack of activity of the two Arabidopsis xylogen genes results in discontinuous vasculature. These data suggest that secreted xylogen mediates tracheary element differentiation thus forming continuous strands of xylem.
