Abstract:
Patterning of Arabidopsis roots is mediated by cell-cell interactions, information flowing from differentiated to immature cells. The plant growth regulator auxin has now been shown to be involved in organizing the distal end of the root apex, including the extent and pattern of cell division programs and specification of cell identity.
