Lateral Root Formation and Its Regulation by Phytohormones
侧根的发生及其激素调控

Lateral root occurs from some special cells in the pericycle of parent root. Lateral root initiation, lateral root primordium formation, and formation and activation of lateral meristem are some key stages for lateral root formation. Auxin action is involved in all the stages of lateral root formation, and jasmonic acid has some effects on the regulation of lateral root formation too.
