Adventitious roots (ARs) form from above-ground organs, and auxins are major regulators of AR development. TIR1/AFB F-box proteins act as well-established auxin receptors. Auxin transport involves the PINFORMED (PIN) auxin efflux carriers and AUXIN RESISTANT 1/LIKE AUX1 (AUX1/LAX1) influx carriers. To further elucidate the basis of AR development, we investigated the participation of these proteins and phosphorylation of PINs during adventitious rooting in hypocotyls of pre-etiolated flooded Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. Mutant and GUS localization studies indicated that AFB2 is important in AR development. AUX1 loss-of-function reduced AR numbers, which could not be reversed by exogenous auxin. Single mutations in LAX1, LAX2 and LAX3 had no negative impact on AR development and the first and last mutations even promoted it. Double and triple mutants of AUX1, LAX1, LAX2 and LAX3 significantly reduced rooting, which was reversed by exogenous auxin. AUX1 was essential in AR establishment, with LAX3 apparently acting in conjunction. Proper phosphorylation of PINs by PID, WAG1 and WAG2 and auxin transport direction were equally essential for AR establishment. PIN1, AUX1 and AFB2 (overexpression) and LAX1, LAX3, PIN4 and PIN7 (downregulation) emerged as potential targets for genetic manipulation aiming at improving AR development.
