- Mechanism Theoretical analysis predicts that auxin influx carriers facilitate periodic vascular patterning.
- Mechanism Theoretical analysis predicts that influx carriers modulate the periodicity of auxin maxima.
- Observation Arabidopsis aux1lax1lax2lax3 quadruple mutants had fewer vascular bundles.
- Observation Arabidopsis aux1lax1lax2lax3 quadruple mutants had more spaced vascular bundles.
- Mechanism AUX1/LAX carriers promote xylem differentiation in shoot tissue.
- Mechanism Auxin influx carriers increase cytoplasmic auxin signaling.
- Mechanism Increased cytoplasmic auxin signaling promotes differentiation.
- Mechanism Computational simulations propose extracellular auxin inhibits xylem differentiation.
