PINFORMED1 polarity in the shoot is insensitive to the polarity of neighbouring cells

Show abstract
In plants, epidermal cells are planar-polarized along an axis marked by the asymmetric localization patterns of several proteins including PIN-FORMED1 (PIN1), which facilitates the directional efflux of the plant hormone auxin to pattern phyllotaxis (Heisler et al., 2010; Mansfield et al., 2018; Reinhardt et al., 2003). While PIN1 polarity is known to be regulated non-cell autonomously via the MONOPTEROS (MP) transcription factor, how this occurs has not been determined (Bhatia et al., 2016). Here we use mosaic expression of the serine threonine kinase PINOID (PID) to test whether PIN1 polarizes according to the polarity of neighbouring cells. Our findings reveal that PIN1 is insensitive to the polarity of PIN1 in neighbouring cells arguing against auxin flux or extracellular auxin concentrations acting as a polarity cue, in contrast to previous model proposals (Abley et al., 2016; Stoma et al., 2008).
