Fig. 7. gnomR5 defects in lateral root formation correlate with
an inability to establish transport-dependent auxin-response gradients. (A-H)
Different stages of wild-type lateral root development. (A-D) PIN1 signals,
(E-H) DR5::GUS signals. (A,E) stage I, (B,F) stages III-IV, (C,G)
stage VI, (D,H) emerged lateral root. Arrows indicate borders of peripheral
cells without PIN1. Staging according to Malamy and Benfey
(Malamy and Benfey, 1997).
(I-L) Wild-type treated with 0.1 µM 2,4-D. (I,J) PIN1 signals, (K,L)
DR5::GUS signals. (I,K) One- or two-layered dividing pericycle, (J,L)
multi-layered division zone. (M-P) gnomR5 treated with 0.1
µM NAA. (M,N) PIN1 signals, (O,P) DR5::GUS signals. (M,O) One- or
two-layered dividing pericycle, (N,P) multi-layered division zone.
