Auxin Modulated Initiation of Lateral Roots Is Linked to Pericycle Cell Length in Maize

Auxin is essential for the regulation of root system architecture by controlling primary root elongation and lateral root (LR) formation. Exogenous auxin has been reported to inhibit primary root elongation and promote the formation of LRs. In this study, LR formation in the Zea mays primary root wa...
