ABSTRACT Auxin and H2O2 play vital roles in plant development and environmental responses; however, it is unclear whether and how H2O2 modulates auxin levels. Here, we investigate this question using cat2-1 mutant, which exhibits reduced catalase activity and accumulates high levels ofH2O2 under photorespiratory conditions. At a light intensity of 150 mmol m-2 s-1, the mutant exhibited up-curl…
Roots play important roles in plant survival and productivity as they not only anchor the plants in the soil but are also the primary organ for the uptake of nutrients from the outside. The growth and development of roots depend on the specification and maintenance of the root meristem. Here, we report a previously unknown role of TIME FOR COFFEE (TIC) in controlling root meristem size in Arabi…
