Systems approaches reveal that ABCB and PIN proteins mediate co-dependent auxin efflux (2022)
Journal Article
Mellor, N. L., Voß, U., Ware, A., Janes, G., Barrack, D., Bishopp, A., …Band, L. R. (2022). Systems approaches reveal that ABCB and PIN proteins mediate co-dependent auxin efflux. Plant Cell, 34(6), 2309–2327. https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koac086

Members of the B family of membrane-bound ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters represent key components of the auxin-efflux machinery in plants. Over the last two decades experimental studies have shown that modifying ABCB expression affects auxin...

Auxin fluxes through plasmodesmata modify root-tip auxin distribution (2020)
Journal Article
Mellor, N. L., Voß, U., Janes, G., Bennett, M. J., Wells, D. M., & Band, L. R. (2020). Auxin fluxes through plasmodesmata modify root-tip auxin distribution. Development, 147(6), Article dev181669. https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.181669

© 2020. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd. Auxin is a key signal regulating plant growth and development. It is well established that auxin dynamics depend on the spatial distribution of efflux and influx carriers on the cell membranes. In t...

Mobile PEAR transcription factors integrate positional cues to prime cambial growth (2019)
Journal Article
Miyashima, S., Roszak, P., Sevilem, I., Toyokura, K., Blob, B., Heo, J. O., …Helariutta, Y. (2019). Mobile PEAR transcription factors integrate positional cues to prime cambial growth. Nature, 565(7740), 490-494. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0839-y

© 2019, Springer Nature Limited. Apical growth in plants initiates upon seed germination, whereas radial growth is primed only during early ontogenesis in procambium cells and activated later by the vascular cambium 1 . Although it is not known how... Read More about Mobile PEAR transcription factors integrate positional cues to prime cambial growth.

OpenSimRoot: widening the scope and application of root architectural models (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Authors. New Phytologist © 2017 New Phytologist Trust OpenSimRoot is an open-source, functional–structural plant model and mathematical description of root growth and function. We describe OpenSimRoot and its functionality to broaden the b... Read More about OpenSimRoot: widening the scope and application of root architectural models.

Dynamic regulation of auxin oxidase and conjugating enzymes AtDAO1 and GH3 modulates auxin homeostasis (2016)
Journal Article
Mellor, N. L., Band, L. R., Pěnčík, A., Novak, O., Rashed, A., Holman, T., …Owen, M. R. (2016). Dynamic regulation of auxin oxidase and conjugating enzymes AtDAO1 and GH3 modulates auxin homeostasis. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 113(39), 11022-11027. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1604458113

Auxin is a key hormone regulating plant growth and development. We combine experiments and mathematical modeling to reveal how auxin levels are maintained via feedback regulation of genes encoding key metabolic enzymes. We describe how regulation of...
