--- res: bibo_abstract: - Plant fitness is largely dependent on the root, the underground organ, which, besides its anchoring function, supplies the plant body with water and all nutrients necessary for growth and development. To exploit the soil effectively, roots must constantly integrate environmental signals and react through adjustment of growth and development. Important components of the root management strategy involve a rapid modulation of the root growth kinetics and growth direction, as well as an increase of the root system radius through formation of lateral roots (LRs). At the molecular level, such a fascinating growth and developmental flexibility of root organ requires regulatory networks that guarantee stability of the developmental program but also allows integration of various environmental inputs. The plant hormone auxin is one of the principal endogenous regulators of root system architecture by controlling primary root growth and formation of LR. In this review, we discuss recent progress in understanding molecular networks where auxin is one of the main players shaping the root system and acting as mediator between endogenous cues and environmental factors.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Nicola foaf_name: Cavallari, Nicola foaf_surname: Cavallari foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=457160E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Christina foaf_name: Artner, Christina foaf_surname: Artner foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=45DF286A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Eva foaf_name: Benková, Eva foaf_surname: Benková foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=38F4F166-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0002-8510-9739 bibo_doi: 10.1101/cshperspect.a039941 bibo_issue: '7' bibo_volume: 13 dct_date: 2021^xs_gYear dct_identifier: - UT:000692069100001 dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1943-0264 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press@ dct_title: Auxin-regulated lateral root organogenesis@ fabio_hasPubmedId: '33558367' ...
