ASYMMETRIC LEAVES2-LIKE16  gene of  Arabidopsis  is a member of the ASYMMETRIC LEAVES2 (AS2)/LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES (LOB) domain gene family. Current reports have indicated that overexpression of  ASL16  induces lateral root formation in the absence of ARF7 and ARF19; whereas lateral root formation is severely reduced in the  arf 7  and  arf 19  double knockout mutants. Antisense mRNA has testified to be a useful tool to inhibit the expression of specific genes in plants; more significantly, it is specific in the sense that only the mRNA level of the desired protein being changed, while other members of the gene family remain unaffected. To further explore  ASL16  function in lateral root growth and development, we introduced an antisense-expression construct of the  ASL16  gene to  Arabidopsis  (Col-0); and acquired some  35S:ASL16 Arabidopsis  plants. With 11 day after germination (DAG), many lateral roots in wild-type seedlings were well developed, whereas a few lateral roots in these antisense  35S:ASL16  seedlings were produced. However, with 5, 8 and 16 DAG, the lateral roots in these transgenic seedlings were not distinct with those of wild-type plants. A series of data indicate that primary root formation of these antisense  35S:ASL16  plants was not affected; whereas their lateral root formation was severely inhibited.

ASL16 gene, a member of AS2/LOB family, is essential for lateral root formation in Arabidopsis
