The modern plant vascular system is a central feature of extant angiosperms and 18

consists of xylem, phloem, and the intervening procambium (Lucas et al. 2013). During 19

vegetative growth, the apical meristem serves as a continuous source of procambial 20

initial cells, which produce the primary xylem, the primary phloem, and the 21

procambium. In secondary growth, vascular cambium, which is derived from the 22

procambium, acts as a stem cell reservoir and continues to give rise to secondary xylem 23

and phloem cells. The formation of the vascular tissue is a well-organized plant 24

developmental process, whose central step is the regulation of vascular stem cell fates. 25

It is governed by cell-to-cell communication, and symplastic movement of signaling 26

molecules contributes to vascular development. Various secreted peptides as well as 27

plant hormones play crucial roles in cell-to-cell communication for regulating vascular 28

development (Fukuda and Ohashi-Ito, 2019). Among the peptides, several members of 29

the CLAVATA3 (CLV3)/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION (ESR) (CLE) family 30

act at different points of key processes in vascular development (Fukuda and 31

Ohashi-Ito, 2019; Hazak and Hardtke, 2016). The CLE family genes are conserved 32

among land plants. In the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genome, there are 32 33

genes encoding 27 distinct CLE peptides (Yamaguchi et al. 2016). CLE precursor 34

proteins contain an N-terminal signal peptide and at least one conserved C-terminal 35

12-14 amino-acid CLE domain, from which a mature CLE peptide is produced through 36

proteolytic cleavage. The activity of some processed peptides is increased by 37

modifications such as hydroxylation on proline residues, and in some cases by 38

glycosylation with three arabinose residues (Ito et al. 2006; Ohyama et al. 2009; 39

Matsubayashi, 2011; Shinohara and Matsubayahi, 2013). During vascular development, 40

CLE41/CLE44, CLE45, and CLE9/CLE10 peptides function in distinct processes. In 41

addition, other peptides such as phytosulfokine and EPIDERMAL PATTERNING 42

FACTOR-LIKE (EPFL) peptides are thought to contribute to the regulation of vascular 43

development (Holzwart et al. 2018; Ikematsu et al. 2017). Crosstalk among peptides and 44

between peptides and plant hormones is an important current topic in vascular 45

development. In this update, we focus on recent advances in our understanding of the 46

regulation of vascular fate with an emphasis on peptide signaling. 47

The TDIF-TDR/PXY signaling pathway in xylem differentiation 48

TRACHEARY ELEMENT DIFFERENTIATION INHIBITORY FACTOR (TDIF) is a 49

CLE-family peptide composed of twelve amino acids including two hydroxylated 50

proline residues (Ito et al. 2006). TDIF was first isolated from zinnia (Zinnia elegans) 51

xylogenic culture medium as a factor inhibiting tracheary element differentiation (Ito et 52

al. 2006). The TDIF sequence is conserved in the genome of Euphyllophytes (Hirakawa 53

and Bowman, 2015) and encoded by the CLE41 and CLE44 genes in the Arabidopsis 54

genome (Hirakawa et al. 2008). The activity of TDIF in vascular development is also 55

conserved among extant Euphyllophytes (Hirakawa and Bowman, 2015). TDIF 56

RECEPTOR/PHLOEM INTERCALATED WITH XYLEM (TDR/PXY) was 57

demonstrated to be a TDIF receptor (Hirakawa et al. 2008). TDR/PXY belongs to Class 58

XI LEUCINE-RICH REPEAT RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASES (LRR-RLK), which 59

consist of an extracellular LRR domain, a single transmembrane domain for anchorage 60

in the plasma membrane, and a cytoplasmic kinase domain (Fisher and Turner, 2007; 61

Hirakawa et al. 2008). The extracellular domain of TDR forms a twisted right-handed 62

superhelical structure, comprising 22 LRRs and the N-terminus, and specifically 63

recognizes TDIF by its inner concave surface (Morita et al., 2016, Zhang et al., 2016a). 64

The crystal structure of TDR ectodomains contains N-linked glycans (Zhang et al., 65

2016b). The PXY (TDR) family (PXYf) is comprised of TDR (PXY), PXY-LIKE1 66

(PXL1), and PXY-LIKE2 (PXL2) (Fig. 1A). PXL1 and PXL2 also participate in vascular 67

development together with TDR, since TDIF binds the ligand binding pocket of both 68

PXL1 and PXL2 (Zhang et al., 2016b), and pxl1 and pxl2 mutations enhance the 69

vascular organization defects in tdr mutants (Etchells et al., 2013; Fisher and Turner, 70

2007). SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS RECEPTOR KINASE (SERK) family proteins 71

(SERK1 and others) act as co-receptors of TDR (Fig. 1A; Zhang et al., 2016b). In the 72

TDIF-TDR-SERK2 complex, TDIF mediates interactions between the LRRs of TDR 73

and SERK2. Similarly, the CLE42 peptide, the closest homolog of TDIF that also 74

displays TDIF activity (Ito et al., 2006), promotes an interaction between PXL2 and 75

SERK2 (Mou et al., 2017). Because SERK2 does not change the basic structure of the 76

TDIF-TDR complex, TDIF functions as a “glue” that joins TDR and a SERK, which 77

may contribute to phosphorylation of a cytoplasmic downstream factor (Zhang et al., 78

2016b). 79

In plants, the TDIF-TDR signaling module acts by inhibiting xylem 80

differentiation from procambial cells and promoting procambial cell proliferation, 81

which results in the maintenance of the procambial cell population (Hirakawa et al. 82

2008). WOX4, which is a member of the WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX (WOX) 83

gene family, is a downstream factor of TDR and promotes procambial cell divisions 84

(Fig. 1A; Ji et al. 2010; Hirakawa et al. 2010; Suer et al. 2011). Moreover, the SK1 85

[ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA SK11 (ATSK11), ATSK12, and ATSK13] and SK2 86

[BRASSINOSTEROID-INSENSITIVE2 (BIN2), BIN2-LIKE1 (BIL1), and BIL2] 87

subgroups of GLYCOGEN SYNTHASE KINASE3/SHAGGY-LIKE KINASE proteins 88

(GSK3s) contribute redundantly to suppress xylem differentiation downstream of TDR 89

(Fig. 1A). 90

Promotion of procambial/cambial cell proliferation by TDIF-TDR 91

TDR is expressed preferentially in procambium and cambium (Hirakawa et al. 2008; 92

Fisher and Turner 2007), while CLE41 and CLE44 are expressed specifically in phloem 93

and more widely in its neighboring cell files, respectively (Fig. 1A; Hirakawa et al. 94

2008). Defects in TDR or CLE41 cause the depletion of the procambial cells (Fisher and 95

Turner 2007, Hirakawa et al. 2008, 2010, Etchells and Turner 2010). Ectopic expression 96

of CLE41 under different promoters revealed that expression of CLE41 in or around 97

procambial cells is sufficient to drive vascular cell division, but localized expression of 98

CLE41 in the phloem is required for maintaining properly orientated cell divisions 99

(Etchells and Turner 2010). Thus, phloem-synthesized TDIF regulates the orientation of 100

procambial cell divisions in a non-cell-autonomous fashion. 101

TDIF upregulates WOX4 expression in a TDR-dependent manner (Hirakawa 102

et al. 2010). Genetic analyses showed that WOX4 is required to promote the 103

proliferation of procambial/cambial cells, but not for repressing xylem differentiation in 104

response to the TDIF signal. The WOX14 transcription factor may also function 105

redundantly in Arabidopsis to modulate procambial cell proliferations (Etchells et al., 106

2013). Moreover, WOX14 may act in xylem fiber differentiation through promotion of 107

gibberellin biosynthesis (Denis et al., 2017), consistent with the requirement of 108

gibberellin for xylem expansion (Ragni et al., 2011) (Fig. 1A). Although WOX4 was 109

shown to interact physically with the HAIRY MERISTEM (HAM) family protein 110

HAM4 (Zhou et al., 2015), it is still unknown how WOX4 regulates gene expression 111

with HAM proteins. 112

The cambium plays a central role in radial growth of woody plants. In the 113

poplar (Populus trichocarpa) genome, orthologs of CLE41, TDR/PXY, and WOX4 are 114

conserved (Hirakawa and Bowman, 2015, Etchells et al., 2015, Kucukoglu et al., 2017), 115

and PttWOX4a and PttWOX4b are specifically expressed in the cambial region during 116

vegetative growth, but not after growth cessation and during dormancy (Kucukoglu et 117

al., 2017). A decrease in PttWOX4a/b levels achieved by RNAi treatment caused severe 118

reduction of the width of the vascular cambium and greatly diminished secondary 119

growth, although primary growth was not affected. 120

Because there is no homologous sequence to Arabidopsis WOX14 in poplar 121

or spruce (Picea) genomes, WOX4 is expected to be a major player of cambial 122

proliferation in woody plants. PtPP2::PttCLE41-PttANT::PttPXY double 123

overexpression lines, in which phloem-specific expression of PttCLE41 and 124

cambium-specific expression of PXY are induced, exhibited highly organized vascular 125

tissue, comparable to that of wild-type controls (Etchells et al., 2015). Because 126

orthologs of CLE41, TDR/PXY, and WOX4 are widely distributed in angiosperm and 127

gymnosperm tree species (Hirakawa and Bowman, 2015, Kucukoglu et al., 2017), the 128

TDIF-TDR/PXY-WOX4 pathway is an evolutionarily conserved program for the 129

regulation of the vascular cambium activity in wood formation. Recently two groups 130

identified bifacial, strongly proliferating cambial stem cells that feed both xylem and 131

phloem production during secondary growth in Arabidopsis (Shi et al., 2019, Smetana 132

et al. 2019). In fact, in the cambial stem cells, TDR/PXY and WOX4 genes were actively 133

expressed. Recently, Zhu and others found that PtrCLE20 is expressed in xylem cells 134

and represses cambium activity in poplar (Zhu et al. 2019). The molecular mechanism 135

underlying the xylem-producing CLE peptide-dependent regulation of cambium activity 136

should be analyzed further. 137

Interaction of the TDIF-TDR pathway with phytohormones 138

The role of auxin in the regulation of vascular cambium activity is well established and 139

the auxin concentration gradient peaks over the cambial region and decreases towards 140

the surrounding secondary tissues in hybrid aspen (Populus tremula L. x Populus 141

tremuloides Michx) (Tuominen et al., 1997). WOX4 has been shown to be necessary 142

both for the auxin responsiveness of the cambium cells and for the auxin-dependent 143

increase in the cambium cell division activity (Suer et al., 2011). Local auxin signaling 144

in TDR-positive stem cells stimulates cambium activity (Brackmann et al. 2018). An 145

analysis with a highly sensitive auxin response marker revealed a moderate auxin 146

response in TDR-positive stem cells and a higher response in xylem and phloem tissues. 147

Whereas the auxin response factors (ARFs) ARF3 and ARF4 act redundantly as general 148

cambium activators, MONOPTEROS (MP)/ARF5 acts as an inactivator specifically in 149

cambium stem cells (Fig. 1A). Indeed, MP induction resulted in both WOX4 repression 150

and the induction of xylem- and phloem-related genes (Brackmann et al. 2018). 151

Recently, Smetana and others proposed that auxin-dependent WOX4 regulation occurs 152

in xylem precursor cells with an auxin maximum, which promotes division of vascular 153

stem cells in a non-cell autonomous manner (Smetana et al., 2019). This idea should be 154

verified from various viewpoints. 155

Periclinal and radial cell divisions in procambial cells of the root apical 156

meristem (RAM) are also regulated by two bHLH transcription factors, LONESOME 157

HIGHWAY (LHW) and TARGET OF MONOPTEROS 5 (TMO5) (Schlereth et al., 158

2010). In xylem precursor cells in the RAM, auxin induces TMO5 expression, which 159

allows the formation of heterodimers between LHW and TMO5 (Fig. 1B). The 160

heterodimers directly promote the expression of target genes involved in the final step 161

of cytokinin biosynthesis, LONELY GUY 3 (LOG3) and LOG4 (Ohashi-Ito et al., 2014, 162

De Rybel et al., 2014). Therefore, cytokinin was hypothesized to act as a mobile signal 163

from the xylem to trigger divisions in the neighboring procambium cells. DOF2.1 and 164

its closest homologs, TMO6 and DOF6, may be key transcription factors downstream of 165

cytokinin in terms of procambial cell proliferation (Smet et al., 2019, Miyashita et al., 166

2019). In xylem precursor cells, however, LHW-TMO5-induced HISTIDINE 167

PHOSPHOTRANSFER PROTEIN 6 (AHP6) represses cytokinin signaling to inhibit 168

cell proliferation (Ohashi-Ito et al., 2014, De Rybel et al., 2014). 169

Suppression of xylem differentiation from procambial cells 170

TDIF signaling releases BIN2 and BIL2, but not BIL1, from TDR, and then activates 171

these GSK3s, which results in the suppression of xylem differentiation (Fig. 1A; Kondo 172

et al., 2014). Conversely, the inhibition of GSK3s with a chemical inhibitor (De Rybel 173

et al., 2009), bikinin, induces xylem differentiation (Kondo et al., 2014, 2015). 174

Bikinin-dependent ectopic xylem differentiation is suppressed in loss-of-function 175

mutants for BRI1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR 1 (BES1) (Kondo et al., 2016, Saito et al., 2018), 176

a direct substrate of GSK3s in the brassinosteroid signaling pathway (Yin et al., 2002). 177

By contrast, constitutively active BES1 (bes1-D) promotes xylem differentiation 178

(Kondo et al., 2014). The loss-of-function mutant of BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT 1 179

(BZR1), the closest homolog of BES1, also shows a bes1-like phenotype, but a weaker 180

one (Saito et al., 2018). Thus, BES1 and BZR1, which are suppressed by GSK3s, act 181

redundantly in promoting xylem differentiation (Fig. 1A). Further analysis indicated 182

that the GSK3s-BES1/BZR1 signal not only regulates xylem but also phloem 183

differentiation (Kondo et al., 2016, Saito et al., 2018). This finding is consistent with a 184

previous report showing that both bes1-D and bzr1-D partially rescued the phenotype of 185

the octopus mutant, in which root protophloem differentiation is suppressed (Anne et al., 186

2015), and with a role of brassinosteroid signaling in phloem sieve element 187

differentiation (Kang et al., 2017). Nevertheless, whether the canonical brassinosteroid 188

pathway effectors also have a role in root protophloem development remains unclear 189

(Kang et al., 2017). Of SK1 and SK2 GSK3s, BIL1 may have a distinct role in vascular 190

development (Fig. 1A). Han and others suggested that BIL1 phosphorylates and 191

activates MP, and the activated MP promotes the expression of two A-type Arabidopsis 192

Response Regulators (ARRs), ARR7 and ARR15, which suppress cambial cell 193

divisions (Han et al., 2018). 194

The finding that bikinin induces ectopic xylem cell differentiation led to the 195

establishment of a useful tissue culture system for vascular cell differentiation named 196

VISUAL (Vascular cell Induction culture System Using Arabidopsis Leaves). In 197

VISUAL, mesophyll cells in cultured cotyledons or leaf disks differentiate at a high 198

frequency into tracheary elements and sieve elements via the procambial stage in the 199

presence of bikinin (Kondo et al., 2015, 2016). This system enabled the analysis of the 200

roles of various genes in vascular differentiation by using their mutants as starting 201

materials of VISUAL. 202

Brassinosteroid signaling may interact with the 203

TDIF-TDR-GSK3s-BES1/BZR1 signaling pathway, because GSK3s and BES1/BZR1 204

are among its key components (Fig. 1A). Indeed, brassinosteroid promotes xylem 205

differentiation (Yamamoto et al, 1997, Caño-Delgado et al., 2004, Kubo et al, 2005), 206

which suggests that brassinosteroid regulates procambial cell fates to counteract TDIF 207

signaling through the reverse regulation of GSK3s. BRASSINOSTEROID 208

INSENSITIVE 1 (BRI1) is the major receptor for brassinosteroid and the BRI1 gene is 209

expressed widely in plants, while its homologs, BRI1-LIKE 1 (BRL1) and 3 (BRL3), are 210

expressed predominantly in vascular tissues. In particular, BRL1 expression is 211

associated with the procambial cells in inflorescence stems (Caño-Delgado et al., 2004). 212

In procambial cells, therefore, the TDIF and brassinosteroid signals may be balanced 213

via GSK3s to determine procambial cell identity. Because brassinosteroid biosynthesis 214

occurs in procambial cells, which is promoted by auxin and cytokinin (Yamamoto et al., 215

2001, 2007), brassinosteroid may act as an autocrine factor in xylem differentiation 216

from procambial cells. 217

CLE9/CLE10 perception in xylem formation 218

CLE9 and CLE10, which encode the same CLE peptide, are preferentially expressed in 219

vascular cells of roots (Fig. 1B; Kondo et al. 2011). cle9 mutants and cle9 cle10 double 220

mutants exhibit a phenotype of increased metaxylem cell file numbers, which results 221

from enhanced periclinal cell division of xylem precursor cells in the RAM (Qian et al., 222

2018). The receptor kinase HAESA-LIKE1 (HSL1) is a CLE9/10 receptor that regulates 223

stomatal lineage cell division, while BARELY ANY MERISTEM (BAM) class 224

receptor kinases are CLE9/10 receptors that regulate periclinal cell division of xylem 225

precursor cells (Fig. 1B; Qian et al., 2018). Both HSL1 and BAM1 bind to CLE9/10, 226

but only HSL1 recruits SERKs as co-receptors in the presence of CLE9/10, suggesting 227

different signaling modes for these receptor systems (Hazak et al., 2017; Qian et al., 228

2018). Genetic analysis indicated that BAM1, BAM2, and BAM3 are involved in the 229

action of CLE9/10, but BAM1 is most important among them. Their genes are 230

expressed in vascular cells, with BAM1 being expressed in xylem and phloem precursor 231

cells in roots, consistent with the function of CLE9/10 in xylem precursor cells. 232

Application of CLE9/10 peptide suppressed protoxylem vessel formation in 233

Arabidopsis roots (Kondo et al., 2011). An early event caused by exogenous CLE9/10 234

peptide was the reduced expression of type-A ARR genes such as ARR5 and ARR6, 235

which are negative regulators of cytokinin signaling (Fig. 1B). Consistently, an arr10 236

arr12 double mutant, which is a combination of mutations of B-type ARRs, showed 237

CLE9/10-resistance in terms of protoxylem vessel suppression, and displayed ectopic 238

protoxylem vessel formation (Kondo et al., 2011). Therefore, CLE9/10 signaling may 239

control xylem differentiation through a cytokinin signaling pathway. However, because 240

cle9 cle10 double mutants did not enhance protoxylem vessel differentiation, other CLE 241

peptide(s) may also be involved redundantly in this process. 242

Phytosulfokine peptide perception in procambial cell fate 243

Phytosulfokines (PSKs) are sulfated pentapeptides that are perceived by 244

PHYTOSULFOKINE RECEPTOR-1 and -2 (PSKR1/PSKR2) (Matsubayashi et al., 245

2002). PSK stabilizes the PSKR island domain for recruitment of a SERK (Wang et al., 246

2015). A recent study revealed a small RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN 44 247

(RLP44)-mediated interaction between PSKRs and BRI1 that regulates procambial cell 248

fate in roots (Fig. 1B; Holzwart et al. 2018). In the rlp44 loss-of-function mutant, 249

supernumerary metaxylem-like cells are formed frequently outside the primary xylem 250

axis in the position of the procambium. This rlp44 phenotype can be rescued by 251

application of PSK peptide. Moreover, pskr1 pskr2 double mutants displayed an 252

rlp44-like xylem phenotype. Likewise, bri1 mutants show ectopic xylem in the 253

procambial position, while brassinosteroid-deficient mutants do not exhibit an 254

rlp44-like xylem phenotype. Therefore, PSK-PSKR signaling acts to maintain 255

procambial cell identity and RLP44 mediates the interaction between PSKR1 and BRI1. 256

These results may provide a model for the integration of multiple signaling pathways at 257

the plasma membrane by shifting associations of receptors in multiprotein complexes in 258

response to different ligands (Holzwart et al. 2018). Because RLP44 and most PSK 259

genes are expressed preferentially in xylem/phloem and procambium of roots, 260

respectively, this signaling may occur in a non-cell autonomous fashion. 261

ERECTA and related receptors cooperate with TDR/PXY family receptors 262

The LRR-RLK encoded by the ERECTA (ER) gene is part of a small gene family 263

together with ER-LIKE1 (ERL1) and ERL2. In er erl1 stems, intervening cambial cells 264

are decreased and phloem cells are frequently located adjacent to xylem cells (Uchida 265

and Tasaka, 2013). This also occurs in tdr (Fisher and Turner, 2007; Hirakawa et al., 266

2008), suggesting that ER and ERL1, like TDR, act by suppressing xylem 267

differentiation and promoting cambial cell activity. By contrast, er erl1 hypocotyls 268

display a remarkable expansion of the xylem and an increase in xylem fiber cells (Ragni 269

et al., 2011; Ikematsu et al., 2017). 270

On the one hand, this result supports the idea that ER and ERL1 suppress 271

xylem differentiation but appear to suppress cambial activity. On the other hand, the 272

relative xylem expansion in the Landsberg er (Ler) genotype was found to be due to 273

early cessation of phloem formation and reduced cambial activity (Sankar et al., 2014). 274

The difference between stems and hypocotyls in er erl1 may be explained by the 275

tissue-specific gene regulation of ERL1 and ERL2: In the er pxy pxl1 pxyl2 genetic 276

background, ERL1 and ERL2 gene expression is reduced greatly in stems, while their 277

expression is strikingly enhanced in hypocotyls (Wang, et al., 2019). These findings 278

clearly indicate a tight interaction between PXY family genes and ER family genes (Fig. 279

1A). Indeed, the sextuple mutant, er erl1 erl2 pxy pxl1 pxyl2 shows a complete 280

suppression of secondary growth of hypocotyls, supporting the view that both TDR and 281

ER family genes are crucial factors of secondary growth (Wang, et al., 2019). 282

Both ER and ERL1 are expressed widely in the epidermis, phloem, and xylem 283

(Uchida and Tasaka, 2013), but the vascular defect in er erl1 stems is rescued by 284

phloem-specific activity of ER (Uchida and Tasaka, 2013), consistent with a proposed 285

role of ER in phloem proliferation (Sankar et al., 2014). Therefore, ER ERL1-dependent 286

suppression of xylem precursor cell division should occur in a non-cell autonomous 287

manner (Fig. 1A; Tamashige et al., 2017). ER and ERL1 also function in preventing 288

xylem fiber differentiation, which is mediated by the NAC SECONDARY WALL 289

THICKENING PROMOTING FACTORs (NSTs) in hypocotyls (Ikematsu et al., 2017). 290

Although BREVIPEDICELLUS is required for the hypocotyl to gain competency to 291

respond to gibberellin and trigger fiber differentiation in both the wild-type and er erl1, 292

it is still unknown whether the ER/ERL1 pathway is associated with the gibberellin 293

pathway. 294

Ligands for ER and EFR1 that function in xylem development have not been 295

identified. However, it is known that EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR 1 (EPF1), 296

EPF2, and EPF-LIKE9 (EPFL9) peptides function as ligands for ER and ERL1 in 297

stomata development (Han and Torii, 2016). In stem elongation, EPFL4 and EPFL6, 298

which are produced in epidermal cells, act as ligands for phloem-located ER (Abrash et 299

al., 2011; Uchida et al., 2012). In hypocotyls, EPFL4 and EPFL6 are expressed in 300

xylem parenchyma cells and differentiating xylem cells (Wang, et al., 2019). However, 301

there is presently no evidence that EPFL4 and EPFL6 function as ligands for regulating 302

hypocotyl secondary growth. In the Arabidopsis genome, there are 11 EPF/EPFL family 303

members (Hara et al., 2009). It is plausible that some EPF/EPFL family members may 304

function as ligands for ER and ERL1 to suppress xylem development in stems and 305

hypocotyls. TOO MANY MOUTHS (TMM) and SERK family proteins function as 306

co-receptors in ER signaling (Hang and Torii, 2016). Therefore, a specific combination 307

of ER/ERL1, EPF/EPFL peptides, and co-receptors, such as TMM and SERK family 308

proteins, may function in vascular development in stems and hypocotyls. 309

Phloem-related CLE peptide signals 310

An interesting aspect emerging from the analysis of pxy/tdr and related mutants is that 311

they do not lose their capacity to produce proper xylem and phloem tissues, as judged 312

from morphological and molecular-genetic criteria (Fisher and Turner, 2007; Hirakawa 313

et al., 2008). This even holds true for higher order (sextuple) mutants that largely 314

remove redundancy (Wang et al., 2019). Thus, the main role of the 315

PXY/TDR-CLE41/44/TDIF system is likely the organization of vascular patterning, 316

which is, for instance, evident in the regular spacing of phloem strands during hypocotyl 317

expansion (Sankar et al., 2014). 318

An easier, more accessible system to study a possibly autonomous role of 319

CLE peptide signaling in vascular development is the root tip with its simple diarch 320

vascular organization. Here, two protophloem poles flank a central xylem axis and 321

allow continuous observation of development along a spatio-temporal gradient. 322

Moreover, protophloem expresses key players or markers, such as ALTERED PHLOEM 323

DEVELOPMENT (APL) (Bonke et al., 2003) or COTYLEDON VASCULAR PATTERN 2 324

(CVP2) (Carland and Nelson, 2004; Rodriguez-Villalon et al., 2015), that are also 325

expressed in secondary phloem development (Lehmann and Hardtke, 2016), indicating 326

that the principal findings in one context likely apply to the other. 327

Root-active CLE peptides are perceived in the phloem 328

The root protophloem is also a system where a key question can be answered: Is CLE 329

peptide signaling required to form functional phloem? Early hints that CLE peptides 330

could play a role in root development came from the observation that several CLE genes 331

are expressed in the root (Jun et al., 2010), and that treatments with many chemically 332

synthesized CLE peptides suppress root growth (Fiers et al., 2005; Ito et al., 2006; 333

Kinoshita et al., 2007). Such so-called “root-active” CLE peptides were also employed 334

to identify components that are necessary for CLE peptide perception in the root, and 335

notably identified the receptor-like protein CLV2 and its interacting partner, the 336

pseudokinase SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF LLP1-2/CORYNE 337

(SOL2/CRN) (Jeong et al., 1999; Miwa et al., 2008; Muller et al., 2008; Meng and 338

Feldman, 2010). 339

12

Both clv2 and crn mutants display substantial resistance to root growth 340

inhibition by a range of root-active CLE peptides, and both the CLV2 and CRN genes 341

are essentially expressed at low levels throughout the root (Hazak et al., 2017). 342

However, recently it was shown that restricted expression of CRN in the developing 343

protophloem is sufficient to fully recover CLE perception in a crn null mutant 344

background (Hazak et al., 2017). This matched the observation that root-active CLE 345

peptides a priori suppress protophloem sieve element differentiation 346

(Rodriguez-Villalon et al., 2014; Hazak et al., 2017), which is essential for root growth 347

(Furuta et al., 2014; Rodriguez-Villalon et al., 2014). Given that interactions between 348

CLE peptides and their cognate receptors are rather specific (Hohmann et al., 2017), the 349

requirement of the CLV2|CRN heteromer for perception of root-active CLE peptides 350

likely reflects a more general rate-limiting role in receptor complex activity. For 351

example, it has been suggested that CLV2|CRN stabilizes the expression of BAM3, the 352

cognate CLE45 receptor in the root (Kang and Hardtke, 2016; Hazak et al., 2017). 353

Suppression of CLE peptide signaling permits root protophloem sieve element 354

differentiation 355

CLE45 is one of the few CLE peptides that is expressed in the developing protophloem 356

sieve elements, the others being the related CLE25 and CLE26 peptides 357

(Rodriguez-Villalon et al., 2014; Anne et al., 2018; Ren et al., 2019). Recently, it was 358

suggested that CLE25 is required for protophloem sieve element formation, although a 359

cle25 mutant did not display a root growth phenotype and only showed a marginal delay 360

in sieve element elongation (Ren et al., 2019). While this might reflect redundancy with 361

other CLE peptides, expression of a supposedly dominant negative mutant version of 362

CLE25 (a G6T exchange in the peptide) abolished protophloem sieve element 363

differentiation as well as one of the formative divisions in the phloem lineage (Ren et al., 364

2019). 365

Interestingly, such divisions can also be suppressed by mild auxin antagonist 366

treatment (Rodriguez-Villalon et al., 2014) and appear to be non-essential. However, it 367

often remains unclear which of the two successive periclinal formative divisions in the 368

phloem lineage is affected, and it might very well turn out that one of them is essential 369

for sieve element formation. Nonetheless, the CLE25G6T

phenotype strongly resembles 370

the so-called Disturbed Protophloem Syndrome observed in backgrounds with elevated 371

13

CLE45 signaling (Rodriguez-Villalon et al., 2014; Anne and Hardtke, 2017) and is 372

consistent with simple dominant (rather than dominant negative) action of the 373

CLE25G6T

version, as observed for other CLE peptides in other contexts (Czyzewicz et 374

al., 2015), including CLE45G6T

in protophloem formation (Rodriguez-Villalon et al., 375

2014; Czyzewicz et al., 2015). This interpretation is also consistent with observations in 376

pertinent receptor mutants. For example, neither crn loss-of-function mutants, nor 377

CLE-RESISTANT RECEPTOR KINASE (clerk) loss-of-function mutants, which are both 378

strongly resistant to CLE25, CLE26, and CLE45 application, display any root growth or 379

protophloem sieve element differentiation phenotypes (Hazak et al., 2017; Anne et al., 380

2018). The same applies to the crn clerk double mutant (Anne et al., 2018). 381

In summary, current data suggest that CLE peptide signaling is not required 382

per se for sieve element formation in the Arabidopsis root. On the contrary, it seems that 383

suppression of autocrine CLE peptide signaling is a pre-requisite for proper 384

protophloem sieve element differentiation (Breda et al., 2019). This does not, however, 385

preclude a role in other aspects of root development, for example formative divisions or 386

radial organization. For instance, CLE9 and CLE10 redundantly appear to affect 387

formative xylem divisions in the root, through their interaction with the BAM1 and 388

BAM2 receptors (Qian et al., 2018). Such mechanisms may also exist for phloem 389

formation. 390

CLE peptide signaling as rapid mediators of stress-induced sink shutdown 391

Beyond purely developmental aspects, CLE peptides may also transmit environmental 392

inputs, and these two roles might not be mutually exclusive in the case of individual 393

peptides. Indeed, CLE25 is a prime example in this context. In addition to its expression 394

in the protophloem, CLE25 expression is induced by drought stress and acts as a 395

long-distance signal that is transported through the vasculature to convey this 396

physiological state to the shoot system (Takahashi et al., 2018). Coincidentally, such 397

induction should also suppress protophloem differentiation and thereby root growth 398

(Anne and Hardtke, 2017; Hazak et al., 2017), which could be advantageous in drought 399

conditions. Yet another example is the root-active CLE peptide, CLE14, which is 400

induced upon phosphate starvation and triggers a breakdown of root meristem 401

maintenance and root growth (Gutierrez-Alanis et al., 2017). Since this response 402

requires the CLV2|CRN module, it appears that it is achieved through a shutdown of 403

14

protophloem formation (Meng and Feldman, 2010; Gutierrez-Alanis et al., 2017; Hazak 404

et al., 2017). 405

In summary, beyond any positive developmental roles in phloem development 406

that largely remain to be discovered, root-active CLE peptides might be mainly 407

involved in the sensing of adverse environmental conditions. From the current data, it 408

seems that their upregulation in response to such adverse conditions suppresses 409

protophloem differentiation and thereby halts root growth. From a physiological 410

perspective, such a mechanism would be a very efficient and rapid way to stop growth 411

and eliminate a metabolic sink that finds itself in sub-optimal conditions. Because 412

phloem transport is essentially auto-regulated, this would “automatically” redirect 413

phloem sap to actively growing roots. Thus, CLE peptide regulation may primarily 414

serve to fine-tune and optimize root system exploration of the wildly heterogenous soil 415

matrix, which could represent a substantial adaptive advantage. 416

Concluding remarks 417

In summary, peptide signaling pathways have been increasingly implicated in vascular 418

development over recent years (Figure 1 summarizes peptide and hormone signaling 419

pathways discussed in this update). From the current data, it appears clear that various 420

peptides and plant hormones not only function as ligands in vascular cell proliferation, 421

but also in both xylem and phloem cell type fate regulation, and both in a 422

cell-autonomous or non-cell autonomous manner. In addition, the emerging picture is 423

becoming considerably complex since the exact impact of a given signaling pathway 424

seems to depend on the developmental stage or the organ. For example, the TDIF-TDR 425

signaling pathway apparently acts in the cambium and actively proliferating 426

procambium of hypocotyls and stems, but not in the root apical meristem. Moreover, 427

the picture is complicated by the observation that at least in the RAM context, 428

CLE45-BAM3 signaling has to be suppressed to permit phloem differentiation, 429

although CLE peptide signaling might be required to initiate proper phloem formation. 430

From the genetic analyses, it is also apparent that the complex network composed of 431

multi-signaling pathways makes the regulation of procambial/cambial cell identity and 432

proliferation robust. Similar redundancy might exist at the level of differentiation of 433

vascular tissues, and future efforts could focus on uncovering such redundancy through 434

genetic as well as biochemical/cell biological investigations. 435

ADVANCES

• Various peptides and plant hormones function as ligands in vascular cell proliferation, as well as in xylem and phloem cell type fate regulation, in both a cell-autonomous or non-cell autonomous manner.

• The role of a given signaling pathway can be context-dependent and depend on the developmental stage or the organ.

• The complex network composed of multiple intersecting signaling pathways renders the regulation of procambial/cambial cell identity and proliferation robust.

• CLE peptide signals might convey environmental inputs as a rapid control of sink organ development.

OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS

• How does crosstalk between different peptide signaling pathways occur mechanistically during vascular development? Do different receptors form a complex on the plasma membrane, and/or are there signaling hubs that connect different signaling pathways?

• Are long-distance peptide signaling pathways controlling vascular development?

• Are the peptide processing and secretion processes regulated as a function of vascular development?

• What are the mechanisms that underlie developmental stage- and organ-specific peptide signaling?

• Where do the processed peptides act at high spatio-temporal resolution?
