Local auxin biosynthesis links cell wall remodeling to lateral root emergence
Auxin promotes lateral root emergence by remodeling surrounding root tissues. Cell wall modifications, including altered lignin deposition, are associated with successful root emergence, revealing a mechanism by which plants establish branched root systems to sustain growth and survival.
