Lateral Inhibition of Lateral Founder Cells

Caption

(Left) Arabidopsis wild-type 9-day growth. (Center and right) The expression of lateral root founder cell marker the DR5 marker gene (DR5:Luciferase) in the root. White arrows show highly active DR5. At zero hours (center) the parts with active DR5 are drawing closer to each other, but roughly twelve hours later (right) DR5 active is becoming stronger in one part and weaker in the other. It is thought that TOLS2 peptide and RLK7 receptor work in this way to suppress lateral growth of lateral root founder cells.
