Verbatim
e0“serration development is the morphological read-out of a spatially distributed regulatory mechanism, which creates interspersed activity peaks of the growth-promoting hormone auxin and the cup-shaped cotyledon2 (CUC2) transcription factor.”

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Mechanism The proposed mechanism has two feedback loops operating at the growing leaf margin.
- Mechanism PIN1 polar membrane localization links auxin transport to its distribution.
- Mechanism CUC2 promotes PIN1-dependent auxin activity maxima.
- Mechanism Auxin represses CUC2 expression.
- Mechanism The CUC2-dependent loop regulates an auxin efflux module to generate stable serration patterns.
