Abstract
Diageotropica and Lateral Rooting, the Rest of the Story

Diageotropica has recently been used to characterize a non-auxin compound, which is required for the localization of lateral root initiation in the pericycle (Ivanchenko et al, 2015; Spiegelman et al, 2015)
These recent results suggest that the pathway involved is conditioned by a cyclophilin which is produced in the shoot and transported to the root where it effects the localization of auxin induced cellular division of pericycle cells in a parent root (Ivanchenko et al, 2015; Spiegelman et al, 2015)
Summary
Plant Science Research Unit, Agricultural Research Service, US Department of Agriculture, Raleigh, NC, USA Keywords: ethylene, auxin, dgt mutant, diageotropica, cyclophilin One of the tools used in the study of lateral root initiation and its control has been plant mutants, which lack or have modified patterns of lateral root initiation.
