TY - JOUR T1 - The receptor-like kinases BAM1 and BAM2 promote the cell-to-cell movement of miRNA in the root stele to regulate xylem patterning JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/603415 SP - 603415 AU - Pengfei Fan AU - Hua Wang AU - Hao Xue AU - Tabata Rosas-Diaz AU - Weihua Tang AU - Heng Zhang AU - Lin Xu AU - Rosa Lozano-Duran Y1 - 2019/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2019/04/09/603415.abstract N2 - Xylem patterning in the root is established through the creation of opposing gradients of miRNAs and their targets, enabled by the cell-to-cell spread of the former. The miRNAs involved in xylem patterning, miR165/6, move through plasmodesmata, but how their trafficking is regulated remains elusive. Here, we describe that the receptor-like kinases BAM1/2 are required for the intercellular movement of miR165/6 in the stele and hence proper xylem patterning in the root. ER -
