Fig. 4. Partition of hormone response within callus. (A) The
pARR5::GFP reporter (green) was active in callus forming shoot
meristems (arrowhead), but downregulated in primordia [incipient primordia
(I)1 and primordia (P)1]. Chlorophyll autofluorescence
is in red. (B) Regenerating meristems (arrowheads) marked by
pPIN1::PIN1-GFP (green) expression, emerged from callus with low
pDR5rev::3XVENUS-N7 (red) expression, while
pDR5rev::3XVENUS-N7 signal was observed in peripheral callus and
within initiating primordia flanking meristems. (C)
pPIN1::PIN1-GFP reporter expression (green) within the shoot
progenitors. (D,E) Strong pDR5rev::3XVENUS-N7
expression (blue) was later detected during the initiation (D) and outgrowth
of organ primordia (P1-P3; E). Chlorophyll
autofluorescence is in red. (F) pDR5::3XVENUS-N7 signal (red)
was not observed 1 minute after application of auxin paste (arrows) to callus
initiating shoot meristems (arrowhead), marked by pPIN1::PIN1-GFP
(green). (G) Four hours after application of auxin paste (arrows)
pDR5::3XVENUS- N7 signal (red) was observed throughout the callus in
contrast to the meristem itself (arrowhead), in which
pDR5::3XVENUS-N7 signal was only in developing primordia. Scale bars:
50 µm (A,C-E); 100 µm (B,F,G).
