Abstract excerpt
Unlike mammals, whose development is limited to a short temporal window, plants produce organs de novo throughout their lifetime in order to adapt their architecture to the prevailing environmental conditions. The production of lateral roots represents one example of such postembryonic organogenesis. An endogenous developmental program likely imposes an ordered arrangement on the position of new lateral roots....
