A hypothetical model showing complex crosstalk among phytohormones, miR166/165, HD-ZIP IIIs and KAN genes regulating root growth. miR166/165 and HD-ZIP IIIs mediated root growth and development is regulated by various hormones such as IAA (red lines), GA (green lines), CK (grey lines), ABA (purple lines), JA (blue lines) and SA (orange lines) through transcriptional regulation of miR166/165, HD-ZIP IIIs and KAN genes. CK mediated regulation was adapted from34. miR166/165 post transcriptionally regulates HD-ZIP IIIs expression, whereas KANs and HD-ZIP IIIs regulate each other transcriptionally through auxin biogenesis, signaling, transport components36, 37. Solid thick lined arrows indicate strong transcriptional induction of genes. Solid thick lines with stop bars indicate strong transcriptional repression of genes. Narrower lined arrows/stop bars represent moderate or weak induction/repression, respectively. Dotted lines with arrow and repression mark represent both induction and repression of expression. Two dotted double lines (blue) with arrow/stop bars indicate hormonal regulation of root growth independent of miR166/165 and HD-ZIP IIIs.
