Recent advances in peptide signaling during Arabidopsis root development

Abstract Roots provide the plant with water and nutrients anchor it in a substrate. Root development is controlled by hormones various sets of transcription factors. Recently, small peptides their cognate receptors have been identified as controlling root development. Small bind to membrane-localized receptor-like kinases, inducing dimerization co-receptor proteins for signaling activation giving rise cellular outputs. function local long-distance molecules involved cell-to-cell communication networks, coordinating In this review, we survey recent advances peptide ligand-mediated pathways control Arabidopsis. We describe interconnection between conventional phytohormone signaling. Additionally, discuss diversity peptide–receptor interactions during
