Conditioning small groups of root pericycle cells for future lateral root formation has a major impact on overall plant root architecture. This priming of lateral roots occurs rhythmically, involving temporal oscillations in auxin response in the root tip. During growth, this process generates a spatial pattern of prebranch sites, an early stage in lateral root formation characterized by a stably maintained high auxin response. To date, the molecular mechanism behind this rhythmicity has remained elusive. Some data implicate a cell-autonomous oscillation in gene expression, while others strongly support the importance of tissue-level modulations in auxin fluxes. Here, we summarize the experimental data on periodic lateral root priming. We present a theoretical framework that distinguishes between a priming signal and its subsequent memorization and show how major roles for auxin fluxes and gene expression naturally emerge from this framework. We then discuss three mechanisms that could potentially induce oscillations of auxin response: cell-autonomous oscillations, Turing-type patterning, and tissue-level oscillations in auxin fluxes, along with specific properties of lateral root priming that may be used to discern which type of mechanism is most likely to drive lateral root patterning. We conclude with suggestions for future experiments and modeling studies.

We observed in detail the XRD profiles of LiMn0.75Fe0.25PO4 taken during the relaxation time. We founded the peak position of the Li-rich phase shifted to lower angles during the relaxation process. We also founded that the intensity around the midpoint between the peak positions of the Li-rich phase and that of the Li-lean phase decreased immediately after the lithium insertion and the delay of the decrease in the intensity around the Li-rich phase. We consider that these happened due to the crystal structure peculiar to the lithium manganese iron phosphate.

Experimental All the electrochemical experiments were carried out in the quiescent AlCl3/TMHC (58/42 mol%) in a N2-filled glove box at 38 ◦ C using a conventional three-electrode cell. An Al spiral wire (Alfa Aesar, 99.95%) immersed in the bulk IL was used as the counter electrode, the reference electrode was an Al wire in a fritted glass tube filled with the same IL. The working electrode was a W wire (diameter =0.5 mm). The electrochemical experiments were performed with an EG&G PARC Model 263A potentiostat/galvanostat controlled with EG&G Model 270 software. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HITACHI, SU8000) was used to examine the morphology of the deposits.
