Main Conclusion:
SlGCC, a GARP transcription factor, functions as a root-related transcriptional repressor. SlGCC synchronizes auxin and ethylene signaling involving SlPIN3 and SlIAA3 as intermediate targets sketching a molecular map for lateral root development in tomato. The root system is crucial for growth and development of plants as it performs basic functions such as providing mechanical support, nutrients and water uptake, pathogen resistance and responds to various stresses. SlGCC, a GARP family transcription factor (TF), exhibited predominant expression in age-dependent (initial to mature stages) tomato root. SlGCC is a transcriptional repressor and is regulated at a transcriptional and translational level by auxin and ethylene. Auxin and ethylene mediated SlGCC protein stability is governed via proteasome degradation pathway during lateral root (LR) growth development. SlGCC over-expressor (OE) and under-expressed (UE) tomato transgenic lines demonstrate its role in LR development. This study is an attempt to unravel the vital role of SlGCC in regulating tomato LR architecture.
