De novo shoot organogenesis (DNSO) is a procedure commonly used for the in vitro regeneration of shoots from a variety of plant tissues. Shoot regeneration occurs on nutrient media supplemented with the plant hormones cytokinin (CK) and auxin, which play essential roles in this process, and genes involved in their signaling cascades act as master regulators of the different phases of shoot regeneration. In the last 20 years, the genetic regulation of DNSO has been characterized in detail. However, as of today, the CK and auxin signaling events associated with shoot regeneration are often interpreted as a consequence of these hormones simply being present in the regeneration media, whereas the roles for their prior uptake and transport into the cultivated plant tissues are generally overlooked. Additionally, sucrose, commonly added to the regeneration media as a carbon source, plays a signaling role and has been recently shown to interact with CK and auxin and to affect the efficiency of shoot regeneration. In this review, we provide an integrative interpretation of the roles for CK and auxin in the process of DNSO, adding emphasis on their uptake from the regeneration media and their interaction with sucrose present in the media to their complex signaling outputs that mediate shoot regeneration.

Abstract Plants have the ability to regenerate whole plant body parts, including shoots and roots, in vitro from callus derived from a variety of tissues. However, the underlying mechanisms for this de novo organogenesis, which is based on the totipotency of callus cells, are poorly understood. Here, we report that a microRNA (miRNA)-mediated posttranscriptional regulation plays an important role in de novo shoot regeneration. We found that mutations in HUA ENHANCER 1 (HEN1), a gene encoding a small RNA methyltransferase, cause cytokinin-related defects in de novo shoot regeneration. A hen1 mutation caused a large reduction in the miRNA319 (miR319) level and a subsequent increase in its known target (TCP3 and TCP4) transcript levels. TCP transcription factors redundantly inhibited shoot regeneration and directly activated the expression of a negative regulator of cytokinin response ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA RESPONSE REGULATOR 16 (ARR16). A tcp4 mutation at least partly rescued the shoot-regeneration defect and derepression of ARR16 in hen1. These findings demonstrate that the miR319-TCP3/4-ARR16 axis controls de novo shoot regeneration by modulating cytokinin responses.
