Model for miRNA- and tasiARF-mediated regulation during maize callus induction. (a) miRNA and tasiARF nodes shaping developmental transitions and cell totipotency maintenance. (b) miRNA nodes impacting cell proliferation. (c) miRNA nodes for auxin signaling. The cellular processes affected by miRNA and tasiARF regulation are depicted according to studies developed mainly in Arabidopsis thaliana and maize39,64. Arrows indicate positive and T-shape negative regulation. The broken arrows represent suggestive or speculative relationships for maize. The expression pattern of sRNAs and their targets during C15, C23 and CM induction is based on the results provided by this work and is represented colored squares as explained in the box. Gene name designations close to the squares refer to different maize transcripts corresponding to the same family in the model (ZmSBP20, 22), whereas those within the pathways are referenced to Arabidopsis thaliana orthologous genes (i.e. AFB3).
