Mutations in a gene for plastid ribosomal protein S6‐like protein reveal a novel developmental process required for the correct organization of lateral root meristem in <i>Arabidopsis</i>

<jats:title>Summary</jats:title><jats:p> <jats:italic>Arabidopsis rfc3</jats:italic> mutants have previously been isolated with an altered fatty acid composition of membrane lipids. In this study, <jats:italic>rfc3</jats:italic> was found to have a sucrose‐conditional defect in the patterning of distal elements in the lateral root meristem. By utilizing this feature, a sucrose‐sensitive process important for lateral root development was localized to the growing portion of <jats:italic>rfc3</jats:italic> primary root. Because lateral root formation occurs at a later stage, this finding suggests the existence of an RFC3‐dependent, non‐primordium autonomous signal playing a role in the organization of lateral root meristem. Map‐based cloning of <jats:italic>RFC3</jats:italic> gene revealed that it encodes a plastid‐localized ribosomal protein S6‐like protein and provides a potential link between control of plastid gene expression and LR development.</jats:p>
