ArabidopsisArgonaute10 (AGO10) specifically sequesters miR165 and miR166 and antagonizes their activity, thus regulating shoot apical meristem (SAM) development. However, where and when this sequestration acts is currently unclear. We show here that AGO10 represses miR165/166 activity in the embryo proper during early embryogenesis, through the apical and central regions of mature embryos, and eventually in the entire adaxial domain and vasculature of the cotyledons and leaf primordia. These locations are essentially identical to regions expressingPHABULOSAandREVOLUTA, mRNA targets of miR165/166. TheArabidopsisgenome contains nineMIR165/166genes. Sequestration of miR165/166 by theMIR165b,MIR166a,MIR166b, andMIR166gpromoters efficiently rescues the SAM defect inago10mutants. Comparison of the expression patterns ofAGO10and the fourMIR165/166members suggests that AGO10 quenches the non-cell-autonomous activity of any miR165/166 that moves intoAGO10-expressing niches. Thus, this study provides insight into how the spatiotemporal regulation of AGO10-miR165/166 activity affects SAM development.
