PIN2-mediated self-organizing transient auxin flow contributes to auxin maxima at the tip of Arabidopsis cotyledons by Patricio Pérez-Henríquez, Shingo Nagawa, Zhongchi Liu, Xue Pan, Marta Michniewicz, Wenxin Tang, Carolyn Rasmussen, Xinping Cui, Jaimie Van Norman, Lucia Strader, Zhenbiao Yang

“…Abstract Directional auxin transport and formation of auxin maxima are critical for embryogenesis, organogenesis, pattern formation, and growth coordination in plants, but the mechanisms underpinning the initiation and establishment of these auxin dynamics are not fully understood. Here we show that a self-initiating and -terminating transient auxin flow along the marginal cells (MCs) contributes to the formation of an auxin maximum at the tip of Arabidopsis cotyledon that globally coordinates the interdigitation of puzzle-shaped pavement cells in the cotyledon epidermis. …”
