Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Restriction of cell division at the early stage of plant organogenesis has been studied mostly with temperature-sensitive mutants of Arabidopsis, which has provided the following findings. At the initiation of lateral root primordium development, anticlinal, asymmetric division of pericycle cells is restricted to a few rounds by a mitochondrion-related mechanism. This control is particularly vulnerable to defects of mitochondrial mRNA metabolism and high temperatures. Polyadenylation is a key event in the mitochondrial mRNA defects. When adventitious bud primordia are built during shoot regeneration, cell division is restricted along with repressive control of the CUC-STM pathway. Impairments of ribosomal biosynthesis disrupt these regulations, via the transcription factor ANAC082, as a stress response.
