It functions at the heart of many developmental processes, from embryogenesis to organ senescence, and is key to plant interactions with the environment, including responses to biotic and abiotic stimuli. As remarkable as auxin is, it does not act alone, but rather solicits the help of, or is solicited by, other endogenous signals, including the plant hormones abscisic acid, brassinosteroids, cytokinins, ethylene, gibberellic acid, jasmonates, salicylic acid, and strigolactones. The interactions between auxin and other hormones occur at multiple levels: hormones regulate one another's synthesis, transport, and/or response; hormone-specific transcriptional regulators for different pathways physically interact and/or converge on common target genes; etc. However, our understanding of this crosstalk is still fragmentary, with only a few pieces of the gigantic puzzle firmly established. In this review, we provide a glimpse into the complexity of hormone interactions that involve auxin, underscoring how patchy our current understanding is.}, number={10}, journal={Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology}, publisher={Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory}, author={Mazzoni-Putman, Serina M. and Brumos, Javier and Zhao, Chengsong and Alonso, Jose M. and Stepanova, Anna N.}, year={2021}, month={Apr}, pages={a039990} } @article{agusti_ramireddy_brumos_2021, title={Editorial: Integration of Hormonal Signals Shaping Root Growth, Development, and Architecture}, volume={12}, ISSN={["1664-462X"]}, DOI={10.3389/fpls.2021.634066}, abstractNote={EDITORIAL article Front.

Morphogenic gradients of auxin govern cell fate decisions and underlie plant phenotypic plasticity. Polar auxin transport plays a central role in auxin maxima generation. The discovery of the exquisite spatiotemporal expression patterns of auxin biosynthesis genes of the WEI8/TAR and YUC families suggested that local auxin production may contribute to the formation of auxin maxima. Herein, we systematically addressed the role of local auxin biosynthesis in plant development and responses to the stress phytohormone ethylene by manipulating spatiotemporal patterns of WEI8. Our study revealed that local auxin biosynthesis and transport act synergistically and are individually dispensable for root meristem maintenance. In contrast, flower fertility and root responses to ethylene require local auxin production that cannot be fully compensated for by transport in the generation of morphogenic auxin maxima.}, number={3}, journal={DEVELOPMENTAL CELL}, author={Brumos, Javier and Robles, Linda M. and Yun, Jeonga and Vu, Thien C. and Jackson, Savannah and Alonso, Jose M. and Stepanova, Anna N.}, year={2018}, month={Nov}, pages={306-+} } @article{estrada-johnson_csukasi_pizarro_vallarino_kiryakova_vioque_merchante_brumos_medina-escobar_botella_et al._2017, title={Transcriptomic Analysis in Strawberry Fruits Reveals Active Auxin Biosynthesis and Signaling in the Ripe Receptacle (vol 8, pg 889, 2017)}, volume={8}, ISSN={["1664-462X"]}, DOI={10.3389/fpls.2017.01305}, abstractNote={[This corrects the article on p. 889 in vol. 8, PMID: 28611805.].}, journal={FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE}, author={Estrada-Johnson, Elizabeth and Csukasi, Fabiana and Pizarro, Carmen M. and Vallarino, Jose G. and Kiryakova, Yulia and Vioque, Amalia and Merchante, Catharina and Brumos, Javier and Medina-Escobar, Nieves and Botella, Miguel A. and et al.}, year={2017}, month={Jul} } @article{estrada-johnson_csukasi_pizarro_vallarino_kiryakova_vioque_brumos_medina-escobar_botella_alonso_et al._2017, title={Transcriptomic analysis in strawberry fruits reveals active auxin biosynthesis and signaling in the ripe receptacle}, volume={8}, journal={Frontiers in Plant Science}, author={Estrada-Johnson, E. and Csukasi, F. and Pizarro, C.

Plant meristems, like animal stem cell niches, maintain a pool of multipotent, undifferentiated cells that divide and differentiate to give rise to organs. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the carpel margin meristem is a vital meristematic structure that generates ovules from the medial domain of the gynoecium, the female floral reproductive structure. The molecular mechanisms that specify this meristematic region and regulate its organogenic potential are poorly understood. Here, we present a novel approach to analyze the transcriptional signature of the medial domain of the Arabidopsis gynoecium, highlighting the developmental stages that immediately proceed ovule initiation, the earliest stages of seed development. Using a floral synchronization system and a SHATTERPROOF2 (SHP2) domain-specific reporter, paired with FACS and RNA sequencing, we assayed the transcriptome of the gynoecial medial domain with temporal and spatial precision. This analysis reveals a set of genes that are differentially expressed within the SHP2 expression domain, including genes that have been shown previously to function during the development of medial domain-derived structures, including the ovules, thus validating our approach. Global analyses of the transcriptomic data set indicate a similarity of the pSHP2-expressing cell population to previously characterized meristematic domains, further supporting the meristematic nature of this gynoecial tissue. Our method identifies additional genes including novel isoforms, cis-natural antisense transcripts, and a previously unrecognized member of the REPRODUCTIVE MERISTEM family of transcriptional regulators that are potential novel regulators of medial domain development.

Using the well-characterized signaling pathway of the phytohormone ethylene and plant-optimized genome-wide ribosome footprinting, we have uncovered a molecular mechanism linking this hormone's perception to the activation of a gene-specific translational control mechanism. Characterization of one of the targets of this translation regulatory machinery, the ethylene signaling component EBF2, indicates that the signaling molecule EIN2 and the nonsense-mediated decay proteins UPFs play a central role in this ethylene-induced translational response. Furthermore, the 3'UTR of EBF2 is sufficient to confer translational regulation and required for the proper activation of ethylene responses.

In the last decade the key genes involved in auxin transport, perception, signaling and response have been identified and characterized, but the elucidation of auxin biosynthesis has proven to be especially challenging. In plants, a significant amount of indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA), the predominant biologically active form of auxin, is synthesized via a simple two‐step route where indole‐3‐pyruvic acid (IPyA) produced from l‐tryptophan by tryptophan aminotransferases (TAA1/TAR) is converted to IAA by the YUC family of flavin monooxygenases. The TAA1/TAR and YUC gene families constitute the first complete auxin biosynthetic pathway described in plants. Detailed characterization of these genes' expression patterns suggested a key role of local auxin biosynthesis in plant development. This has prompted an active search for the molecular mechanisms that regulate the spatiotemporal activity of the IPyA route. In addition to the TAA1/TAR and YUC‐mediated auxin biosynthesis, several alternative routes of IAA production have been postulated to function in plants, but their biological significance is yet to be demonstrated. Herein, we take a genetic perspective to describe the current view of auxin biosynthesis and its regulation in plants, focusing primarily on Arabidopsis.}, number={1}, journal={PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM}, author={Brumos, Javier and Alonso, Jose M. and Stepanova, Anna N.}, year={2014}, month={May}, pages={3–12} } @article{he_brumos_li_ji_ke_gong_zeng_li_zhang_an_et al._2011, title={A Small-Molecule Screen Identifies l-Kynurenine as a Competitive Inhibitor of TAA1/TAR Activity in Ethylene-Directed Auxin Biosynthesis and Root Growth in Arabidopsis}, volume={23}, ISSN={1040-4651 1532-298X}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1105/tpc.111.089029}, DOI={10.1105/tpc.111.089029}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={11}, journal={The Plant Cell}, publisher={American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB)}, author={He, Wenrong and Brumos, Javier and Li, Hongjiang and Ji, Yusi and Ke, Meng and Gong, Xinqi and Zeng, Qinglong and Li, Wenyang and Zhang, Xinyan and An, Fengying and et al.}, year={2011}, month={Nov}, pages={3944–3960} }
