Journal Article
Cho, H., Ryu, H., Rho, S., Hill, K., Smith, S., Audenaert, D., …Hwang, I. (2014). A secreted peptide acts on BIN2-mediated phosphorylation of ARFs to potentiate auxin response during lateral root development. Nature Cell Biology, 16(1), 66-76. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncb2893

The phytohormone auxin is a key developmental signal in plants. So far, only auxin perception has been described to trigger the release of transcription factors termed AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs) from their AUXIN/INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID (AUX/IAA) repr...
