The Arabidopsis bZIP11 transcription factor links low-energy signalling to auxin-mediated control of primary root growth. by Christoph Weiste, Lorenzo Pedrotti, Jebasingh Selvanayagam, Prathibha Muralidhara, Christian Fröschel, Ondřej Novák, Karin Ljung, Johannes Hanson, Wolfgang Dröge-Laser

“…Based on ensuing molecular and biochemical analyses, we propose a mechanistic model, in which bZIP11-related TFs gain control over the root meristem by directly activating IAA3/SHY2 transcription. IAA3/SHY2 is a pivotal negative regulator of root growth, which has been demonstrated to efficiently repress transcription of major auxin transport facilitators of the PIN-FORMED (PIN) gene family, thereby restricting polar auxin transport to the root tip and in consequence auxin-driven primary root growth. …”
