Description
Yetao Wang and co-authors report a new gene behind leaf vein patterns in a small flowering plant in this 2024 paper. Veins form complex networks in leaves, yet how the pattern is laid down is poorly understood. The team found a mutant plant with yellow, jagged leaves and faulty veins in its seed leaves.
They traced the fault to a gene never before reported in plants, which they named for the leaf traits. The gene's protein partners with a known vein protein that works in vessel tissue. The mutant also showed changed responses to auxin, a hormone that guides vein growth, and changed activity of auxin-linked genes. The authors conclude the gene shapes seed-leaf veins through its partner protein. The find adds a piece to the vein pattern puzzle.
