<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>We isolated three recessive mutants of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) showing ectopic expression of the xylem-specific marker, pAtxyn3::YFP. Genetic analysis indicated that the phenotypes were caused by mutations in three different genes, designated Abnormal Tracheary Element formation-related gene expression (ate1–3). The ate1 mutants showed a normal DR5::GUS gene expression pattern, and the ate1 mutation did not affect the abnormal vascular pattern formation in the van3 and pin1 mutants, indicating that the ate1 mutation does not affect the vascular pattern organization governed by auxin. The ate mutants showed ectopic lignin deposition, patterned secondary wall thickenings, and cell death, which are characteristic of mature tracheary elements (TEs) in cells ectopically expressing the pAtxyn3::YFP gene. Ectopic TE formation was rapidly induced in parenchymal tissue of the ate mutants in a TE-inducible system with excised hypocotyl. Furthermore, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction experiments showed that the expression of TE formation-related genes is up-regulated in the ate mutants. The ate1 mutation also caused ectopic expression of another xylem-specific marker gene, pAt3g62160::YFP. Overall, our results suggest that the ATE genes are responsible for the in situ repression of transdifferentiation into TEs in Arabidopsis and could be participants in the transdifferentiation-masking system.</jats:p>
