Abstract

Abstract : Lateral root (LR) formation is a multistep developmental process in which auxin and peptide hormones play essential roles. Recent studies in arabidopsis by Huang et al. and Zhu et al. have revealed that the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade MKK4/MKK5–MPK3/MPK6 functions in both a noncanonical auxin signaling pathway and the IDA peptide signaling pathway to regulate LR morphogenesis and emergence, respectively.
