Abstract:Removal of the root system induces the formation of new roots from the remaining shoot. This process is primarily controlled by the phytohormone auxin which interacts with other signals in a yet unresolved manner. Here, we study the classical tomato mutation rosette (ro) which lacks shoot-borne roots. ro plants were severely inhibited in the formation of wound-induced roots and have reduced rates of auxin transport. We mapped ro to the tomato ortholog of the Arabidopsis thaliana BIG and the mammalians UBR4/p60… Show more
