Does a mutually inhibitory interaction between auxin and cytokinin specify vascular pattern in roots?
Our results present an interactive feedback loop between hormonal signaling and transport by which small biases in hormonal input are propagated into distinct signaling domains to specify the vascular pattern in the root meristem. It is an intriguing possibility that such a mechanism could transform radial patterns and allow continuous vascular connections between other newly emerging organs.
After adjustment for known confounders the weekend effect is not detectable within a regionalised major trauma service.
