  bibo_abstract:
  - Germline determination is essential for species survival and evolution in multicellular
    organisms. In most flowering plants, formation of the female germline is initiated
    with specification of one megaspore mother cell (MMC) in each ovule; however,
    the molecular mechanism underlying this key event remains unclear. Here we report
    that spatially restricted auxin signaling promotes MMC fate in Arabidopsis. Our
    results show that the microRNA160 (miR160) targeted gene ARF17 (AUXIN RESPONSE
    FACTOR17) is required for promoting MMC specification by genetically interacting
    with the SPL/NZZ (SPOROCYTELESS/NOZZLE) gene. Alterations of auxin signaling cause
    formation of supernumerary MMCs in an ARF17- and SPL/NZZ-dependent manner. Furthermore,
    miR160 and ARF17 are indispensable for attaining a normal auxin maximum at the
    ovule apex via modulating the expression domain of PIN1 (PIN-FORMED1) auxin transporter.
    Our findings elucidate the mechanism by which auxin signaling promotes the acquisition
    of female germline cell fate in plants.@eng
