Abstract

Plants have evolved sophisticated root systems that help them to cope with harsh environmental conditions. They are typically composed of a primary root and lateral roots (LRs), but may also include adventitious roots (ARs). Unlike LRs, ARs may be initiated not only from pericycle cells, but from various cell types and tissues depending on the species. Phytohormones, together with many other internal and external stimuli, coordinate and guide every step of AR formation from the first event of cell reprogramming until emergence and outgrowth. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the molecular mechanisms controlling AR formation and highlight the main hormonal cross talk involved in its regulation under different conditions and in different model systems.

Highlights

  • Unlike most animals, plants have developed remarkable capacities of regeneration and propagation

  • Ruedell et al (2015) found that expression of ARF6 and ARF8 was induced in difficult-to-root Eucalyptus globulus donor plants treated with far-red enriched light, and after cutting. This induction coincided with the promotion of adventitious root (AR) formation under these conditions. These results suggest that ARF6 and ARF8, which were identified as positive regulators of AR formation in Arabidopsis, may be key elements of an AR initiation (ARI) mechanism that has been conserved across diverse taxa
