Abstract
Plants implement differential cell growth as an adaptation process in order to direct their development in a way that allow them to better cope with the environmental conditions. This process requires the complex integration of multiple hormone signalings, though, a lot remain to be known about the mechanisms and the molecular actors that take part in this hormonal dialogue. We have previously shown that Sl-IAA3, an Aux/IAA gene, is a molecular link between auxin and ethylene responses in tomato plants. We show here that the expression of Sl-IAA3 in etiolated seedlings is restricted to the inner side of the apical hook, opposite to that of the HOOKLESS gene whose loss-offunction mutation results in the absence of hook formation. We propose a model on how auxin and ethylene modulate the expression of Auxin Response Factor 2 (ARF2) via IAA3 and HLS protein to regulate hypocotyl bending.
