Lateral root primordia in <i>Raphanus sativus</i> had developed 10 hours after main root decapitation. The primordia consisted of three cell layers — basal layer continuous with the pericycle. The primordia were initiated by activated groups of pericycle cells. Inactive pericycle cells with a thin layer of parietal cytoplasme large central vacuole and well developed leucoplasts with starch grains were trans-formed into meristematic cells. During transformation the amount of cytoplasm and number of cytoplasmic organelles greatly increased, the central vacuole disappeared, and an ER system continuous in many places with the nuclear envelope evolved. The lamellar structure of plastids underwent almost complete reduction; the dictyosomes became active. The newly formed meristem differed apparently from the apical root meristem only in the lack or scarcity of lipid bodies and starch.

In both radish and Arabidopsis, lateral root initiation involves a series of rapid divisions in pericycle cells located on the xylem radius of the root. In Arabidopsis, the number of pericycle cells that divide to form a primordium was estimated to be about 11. To determine the stage at which primordia are able to function as root meristems, primordia of different stages were excised and cultured without added hormones. Under these conditions, primordia that consist of 2 cell layers fail to develop while primordia that consist of at least 3–5 cell layers develop as lateral roots. We hypothesize that meristem formation is a two-step process involving an initial period during which a population of rapidly dividing, approximately isodiametric cells that constitutes the primordium is formed, and a subsequent stage during which meristem organization takes place within the primordium.

In Marsilea quadrifolia, lateral roots arise from modified single cells of the endodermis located opposite the protoxylem poles within the meristematic region of the parent root. The initial cell divides in four specific planes to establish a fivecelled lateral root primordium, with a tetrahedral apical cell in the centre and the oldest merophytes and the root cap along the sides. The cells of the merophyte divide in a precise pattern to give rise to the cells of the cortex, endodermis, pericycle, and vascular tissues of the emerging lateral root. Although the construction of the parent root is more complicated than that of lateral roots, patterns of cell division and tissue formation are similar in both types of roots, with the various tissues being arranged in similar positions in relation to the central axis. Vascular connection between the lateral root primordium and the parent root is derived from the pericycle cells lying between the former and the protoxylem members of the latter. It is proposed that the central axis of the root is not only a geometric centre, but also a physiological centre which determines the fate of the different cell types. Key words: lateral root initiation, Marsilea quadrifolia, root histogenesis.

The unexpected location of VvK5.1 expression detected in the lateral root primordium, berry phloem and pistil provides new insights into the roles that this outward channel type can play in plants.
