Mutations in a gene for plastid ribosomal protein S6-like protein reveal a novel developmental process required for the correct organization of lateral root meristem in Arabidopsis.

Arabidopsis rfc3 mutants have previously been isolated with an altered fatty acid composition of membrane lipids. In this study, rfc3 was found to have a sucrose-conditional defect in the patterning of distal elements in the lateral root meristem. By utilizing this feature, a sucrose-sensitive process important for lateral root development was localized to the growing portion of rfc3 primary root. Because lateral root formation occurs at a later stage, this finding suggests the existence of an RFC3-dependent, non-primordium autonomous signal playing a role in the organization of lateral root meristem. Map-based cloning of RFC3 gene revealed that it encodes a plastid-localized ribosomal protein S6-like protein and provides a potential link between control of plastid gene expression and LR development.[1]
