Local auxin biosynthesis links cell wall remodeling to lateral root emergence

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Auxin promotes lateral root emergence by remodeling surrounding root tissues. Cell wall modifications, including altered lignin deposition, are associated with successful root emergence, revealing a mechanism by which plants establish branched root systems to sustain growth and survival.
