	       ABSTRACT
	       Adventitious rooting (AR), a limiting step for
	       vegetative propagation of plants, is a quantitative
	       genetic trait with a high phenotypic plasticity due to
	       multiple endogenous and environmental regulatory
	       factors. This highly plastic trait is controlled in
	       Arabidopsis by a subtle balance between positive and
	       negative transcriptional regulators (ARF6, ARF8 and
	       ARF17), themselves regulated by microRNAs (MIR160 and
	       MIR167) and repressors from the Aux/IAA gene family. The
	       three ARF genes control AR by modulating jasmonic acid
	       levels. Thus, AR is an adaptive response at the
	       crosstalk of auxin and jasmonate signaling pathways.
