Temporal control of the lateral root emergence (LRE) gene regulatory network involving OBP4 and XTH9. Auxin is perceived by AFB3 and triggers the degradation of IAA14, which releases ARF7/19. Auxin regulates XTH9 expression in an ARF7/19-dependent manner. XTH9 is also negatively regulated by OBP4, which fine-tunes the XTH9 expression level in response to environmental nitrate availability. This synergistic regulation of OBP4-XTH9 has a specific function in lateral root (LR) development in response to nitrate signaling in Arabidopsis.
