Summary
The plant hormones auxin and cytokinin mutually coordi-nate their activities to control various aspects of develop-
ment [19], and their crosstalk occurs at multiple levels[10, 11]. Cytokinin-mediated modulation of auxin transport
provides an efficient means to regulate auxin distributionin plant organs. Here, we demonstrate that cytokinin does
not merely control the overall auxin flow capacity, but might
also act as a polarizing cue and control the auxin streamdirectionality during plant organogenesis. Cytokinin en-
hances the PIN-FORMED1 (PIN1) auxin transporter depletionat specific polar domains, thus rearranging the cellular PIN
polarities and directly regulating the auxin flow direction.This selective cytokinin sensitivity correlates with the PIN
protein phosphorylation degree. PIN1 phosphomimickingmutations, as well as enhanced phosphorylation in plants
with modulated activities of PIN-specific kinases and phos-phatases, desensitize PIN1 to cytokinin. Our results reveal
conceptually novel, cytokinin-driven polarization mecha-nism that operates in developmental processes involving
rapid auxin stream redirection, such as lateral root organo-genesis, in which a gradual PIN polarity switch defines the
growth axis of the newly formed organ.

growth axis [6, 7] and of newly initiated organs [8, 9]. Lateralroot organogenesis is a prominent example of a develop-mental process during which redirection of auxin flow occurs,thereby defining the growth axis of developing lateral roots [8].This auxin flow redirection depends on the gradual repolariza-tion of the PIN-FORMED1 (PIN1) auxin transporter from thepredominantly anticlinal orientation during the initial phasesof lateral root primordium (LRP) organogenesis to the pericli-nal cell membranes, thus directing the auxin transport streamtoward the primordia tips. However, the polarizing cues andunderlying mechanisms that direct the auxin flow duringprimordia formation are still unknown.Developmental regulation of the root system by cytokinin is
partially mediated by interference with the endocytic traf-ficking. The cytokinin-stimulated PIN1 lytic degradation fromstage-I LRP cell membranes correlates with repression ofprimordia organogenesis [12]. To get a broader view on thedevelopmental role of the cytokinin-controlled PIN1 degrada-tion, we characterized the cytokinin effects on the LRPs at themore advanced developmental stage III, when distinct PIN1polarities at either the anticlinal or periclinal membranes(transversal and longitudinal to the primary root growth axis,respectively) are established (Figure 1A). Cytokinin at low(5 nM) or high (0.1 mM) concentrations rapidly depleted thePIN1-GFP fusion signal from anticlinal membranes whencompared to untreated primordia (Figure 1A1D and 1F), buthad no or a weaker impact at periclinal membranes (Figures1A1C, 1E, and 1G).The differential cytokinin sensitivity of PIN1 at anticlinal
versus periclinal LRP membranes implies that cytokinin mightmodulate the PIN polarity index (the PIN1 ratio at periclinalversus anticlinal membranes) in favor of the periclinal locationand, consequently, enhance the auxin flow toward theprimordia tips to promote their development. Evaluation ofthe PIN1 polarity index revealed a clear shift toward the pericli-nal membranes of LRPs treated with cytokinin (Figures S1Aand S1B available online). Importantly, application of 5 nMcytokinin on stage-V LRPs onward significantly stimulatedthe primordia outgrowth when compared to control primordia(Figures S1C, S1D, and S1F). In contrast, high cytokinin con-centrations, despite the modified PIN1 polarity index, retardedprimordia outgrowth, probably due to high overall decrease inPIN1 abundance (Figures S1C, S1E, and S1F; Figures 1F and1G). These results indicate that cytokinin differentially targetsPIN1 at anticlinal or periclinal LRPmembranes. Consequently,because the PIN1 polarization index is altered in favor of peri-clinal PIN1, the auxin flow toward the primordia tips might be
