AbstractBranching of root systems enables the exploration and colonization of the soil environment. In Arabidopsis roots, de novo organogenesis of lateral roots is patterned by an oscillatory mechanism called the root clock, which is dependent on metabolites derived from the β-carotene pathway1, 2. Retinoids are β-carotene-derived regulators of organogenesis in the animal kingdom. To determine if retinoids function in plant development, we conducted time-lapse imaging of a chemical reporter for retinoid binding proteins. We found that it oscillates with a comparable frequency to the root clock and accurately predicts sites of lateral root organogenesis. Exogenous application of retinal to wild-type plants is sufficient to induce root clock oscillations and lateral root organogenesis. A homology search yielded a potential Arabidopsis homolog, TEMPERATURE INDUCED LIPOCALIN (TIL) to vertebrate retinoid binding proteins. Genetic analysis indicates that TIL is necessary for normal lateral root development and a til mutant has decreased retinal sensitivity. TIL expression in a heterologous system conferred retinal binding activity, suggesting that it may directly interact with this molecule. Together, these results demonstrate an essential role for retinal and for plant retinal binding proteins in lateral root organogenesis.
