Signal integration by GSK3 kinases in the root

Nature Cell Biology volume 16, pages 21–23 (2014)Cite this article

Subjects

Signal integration is central to the regulation of patterning during plant development. During lateral root initiation, a signalling pathway controlled by the phloem-secreted TDIF peptide is found to activate the auxin signalling pathway independently of auxin, through phosphorylation of ARF transcription factors by GSK3 (Shaggy-like) kinases.
