HD-ZIPIII and KANADI transcription factors have opposing and dramatic affects on plant development. Analysis of mutants shows these proteins to be master regulators of ad/abaxial (i.e., upper/lower) leaf polarity, leaf blade outgrowth, and branch formation. Because these factors do their work by regulating other genes, we have focused our attention on defining their targets. We have found overlap between the ad/abaxial regulatory pathway and hormone signaling pathways, especially pathways of abscisic acid and auxin signaling. This has led to the discovery that abscisic acid signaling acts upstream of HD-ZIPIII and KANADI in the control of germination and may ultimately explain how environmental stress pathways control new growth at the shoot apex. Auxin signaling conversely is downstream from HD-ZIPIII and KANADI action with these factors controlling targets at all steps of auxin action-biosynthesis, transport, regulation of transport, and signaling. Based on these findings, we propose a model in which the HD-ZIPIII and KANADI factors pattern auxin response in the embryo. Finally, many genes targeted for control by HD-ZIPIII and KANADI proteins are themselves transcription factors-indicating these master regulators call up tissue specific subprograms of transcriptional control to affect the many polar differences observed across tissues.
