Before auxin distribution matters: Prepatterning of the Arabidopsis embryo axis by MPK6-dependent AUX/IAA8 phosphorylation
Torren Bischoff, Marina Ortega-Perez, Alexa‐Maria Wangler…·Martin J. Bayer
The paper shows that auxin distribution is not required for initial embryonic patterning in Arabidopsis, as differential phosphorylation of AUX/IAA8 by MPK6 sets up the apical-basal axis.
