“…The temporal dynamics of TORC inhibition mediated by the chemical AZD8055, extensively employed to investigate the TOR pathway in plants (Montané and Menand, 2013;Dong et al, 2015;Ouibrahim et al, 2015;Dobrenel et al, 2016b;Prioretti et al, 2017;Schepetilnikov et al, 2017;Soprano et al, 2017;Inaba and Nagy, 2018;Mohammed et al, 2018;Riegler et al, 2018;Barrada et al, 2019;Forzani et al, 2019;Song et al, 2019;Van Leene et al, 2019;Méndez-Gómez et al, 2020;Zhu et al, 2020), was followed in seedlings of S. viridis and A. thaliana at specific and compatible developmental stages. Dose-dependent experiments, using the root GI 50 as a parameter (Figure 2), revealed that growth arrest is a phenotypic consequence of TORC repression in both species.…”
