This project explores the role of specific transcription factors in root initiation in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. By studying the MONOPTEROS protein and its target genes, the project aims to uncover the genetic networks that regulate root development during early embryogenesis.
In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the primary root is initiated during early embryogenesis by the specification of a single extra-embryonic suspensor cell as hypophysis.
This root founder cell divides asymmetrically and generates the quiescent centre, the future organizer cells in the root apical meristem.
Specification of the hypophysis critically depends on the activity of the MONOPTEROS (MP) protein.
In micro-array experiments to identify genes that are controlled by MP during root ini…
