Root patterning: SHORT ROOT on the move.
The radial pattern of the plant root is determined by the action of two transcription factors, SHORT ROOT and SCARECROW, which are produced in different cell types. The SHORT ROOT protein has now been shown to move from cell to cell, regulating transcription of the downstream SCARECROW gene in the target cells.
