Project description
the pattern of lateral roots (LR) formation defines the final shape of mature root system architecture. however, the exact mechanism of auxin-dependent LR positioning is still an open question. our studies on auxin influx carrier HvLAX3 in barley (hordeum vulgare) suggests its possible role in generating auxin maxima that precede the LRs priming and defines the futre position of LRs.
