High impact information on PLS

 

Biological context of PLS

  • We propose that PLS is required for correct auxin-cytokinin homeostasis to modulate root growth and leaf vascular patterning [2].
  • Cloning of the PLS locus revealed that the promoter trap T-DNA had inserted into a short open reading frame (ORF) [2].
  • The POLARIS (PLS) gene of Arabidopsis was identified as a promoter trap transgenic line, showing beta-glucuronidase fusion gene expression predominantly in the embryonic and seedling root, with low expression in aerial parts [2].
