Abstract

Auxin has been shown to be the key plant hormone in regulating lateral root (LR) development in plant. The auxin-efflux carrier proteins PIN effect the auxin polar distribution in roots. ABI4 inhibits LR formation due to the reduced PIN1 expression and that the resulting decrease in root auxin leads to a reduction in LR development. In this article, the current research advances on ABI4 mediated LR formation are introduced.
