Organ growth is a fundamental developmental process basing on cell proliferation and differentiation. The growth of the plant root is sustained by the activity of the root meristem, a process controlled in part by various transcription factors. Here, themiR159has been identified as a post transcriptional repressor of root growth, on the basis that themir159abdouble mutant developed a larger meristem than did the wild type, and that it formed longer roots. In the mutant, the abundance ofMYB33,MYB65andMYB101transcript was substantially increased. WhenMYB33,MYB65andMYB101were replaced by themiR159-resistant formsmMYB33, mMYB65andmMYB101respectively, the root meristem was similarly enlarged and the growth of the primary root enhanced.MYB65activity promoted cell division in the root meristem by accelerating the cell cycle. The data suggest thatmiR159acts as a key repressor of the primary root's growth, acting through its repression ofMYB65and consequent blocking of the cell cycle.
