Patterned differentiation of distinct cell types is essential for the development of multicellular organisms. The root epidermis of Arabidopsis thaliana is composed of alternating files of root hair and non‐hair cells and represents a model system for studying the control of cell‐fate acquisition. Epidermal cell fate is regulated by a network of genes that translate positional information from the...
The coordinated growth of epidermal cells in plant leaves creates the characteristic jigsaw puzzle appearance of the pavement cells. Now, Xu et al. (2010) report that AUXIN-BINDING PROTEIN 1 mediates auxin activation of two GTPase pathways that antagonistically control planar morphogenesis of leaf epidermal cells to create this distinctive pattern.
