Dev Cell 10 (2006) 265-270. The transient interaction between auxin, BDL and MP is shown to mediate auxin transport, which is required for hypophysis differentiation and subsequently root formation in the developing embryo.

The PIN auxin efflux facilitator network controls growth and patterning in Arabidopsis roots. Nature 433 (2005) 39-44. PIN proteins collectively control distribution of auxin in the developing root and, subsequently, restrict expression of PLT. In turn, PLT controls expression of PIN proteins, which determines the location of the auxin maxima and controls cell fate determination in the root.

Laser ablation of the root quiescent center reveals that transcription factors PLT, SCR, and SHR mediate cell fate determination and PIN expression and localization during the regeneration process. In turn, PIN localization controls auxin flow and completes reparation. This finding is in contrast to the classical auxin canalization dogma.

STM positively regulates cytokinin biosynthesis, and exogenous application of cytokinin partially rescues the stm phenotype. Therefore, STM maintains the SAM at least partially through cytokinin.
