Rice is cultivated in water-logged paddy lands. Thus, rice root hairs on the epidermal layers are exposed to a different redox status of nitrogen species, organic acids, and metal ions than root hairs growing in drained soil. To identify genes that play an important role in root hair growth, a forward genetics approach was used to screen for short-root-hair mutants. A short-root-hair mutant was identified and isolated by using map-based cloning and sequencing. The mutation arose from a single amino acid substitution of OsSNDP1 (Oryza sativa Sec14-nodulin domain protein), which shows high sequence homology with Arabidopsis COW1/AtSFH1 and encodes a phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP). By performing complementation assays with Atsfh1 mutants, we demonstrated that OsSNDP1 is involved in growth of root hairs. Cryo-scanning electron microscopy was utilized to further characterize the effect of the Ossndp1 mutation on root hair morphology. Aberrant morphogenesis was detected in root hair elongation and maturation zones. Many root hairs were branched and showed irregular shapes due to bulged nodes. Many epidermal cells also produced dome-shaped root hairs, which indicated that root hair elongation ceased at an early stage. These studies showed that PITP-mediated phospholipid signaling and metabolism is critical for root hair elongation in rice. 相似文献

Background and AimsRoot proliferation is a response to a heterogeneous nutrient distribution. However, the growth of root hairs in response to heterogeneous nutrients and the relationship between root hairs and lateral roots remain unclear. This study aims to understand the effects of heterogeneous nutrients on root hair growth and the trade-off between root hairs and lateral roots in phosphorus (P) acquisition.MethodsNear-isogenic maize lines, the B73 wild type (WT) and the rth3 root hairless mutant, were grown in rhizoboxes with uniform or localized supply of 40 (low) or 140 (high) mg P kg−1 soil.ResultsBoth WT and rth3 had nearly two-fold greater shoot biomass and P content under local than uniform treatment at low P. Significant root proliferation was observed in both WT and rth3 in the nutrient patch, with the WT accompanied by an obvious increase (from 0.7 to 1.2 mm) in root hair length. The root response ratio of rth3 was greater than that of WT at low P, but could not completely compensate for the loss of root hairs. This suggests that plants enhanced P acquisition through complementarity between lateral roots and root hairs, and thus regulated nutrient foraging and shoot growth. The disappearance of WT and rth3 root response differences at high P indicated that the P application reduced the dependence of the plants on specific root traits to obtain nutrients.ConclusionsIn addition to root proliferation, the root response to a nutrient-rich patch was also accompanied by root hair elongation. The genotypes without root hairs increased their investment in lateral roots in a nutrient-rich patch to compensate for the absence of root hairs, suggesting that plants enhanced nutrient acquisition by regulating the trade-off of complementary root traits. 相似文献

Soil microorganisms are critical players in plant-soil interactions at the rhizosphere. We have identified a Bacillus megaterium strain that promoted growth and development of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and Arabidopsis thaliana plants. We used Arabidopsis thaliana as a model to characterize the effects of inoculation with B. megaterium on plant-growth promotion and postembryonic root development. B. megaterium inoculation caused an inhibition in primary-root growth followed by an increase in lateral-root number, lateral-root growth, and root-hair length. Detailed cellular analyses revealed that primary root-growth inhibition was caused both by a reduction in cell elongation and by reduction of cell proliferation in the root meristem. To study the contribution of auxin and ethylene signaling pathways in the alterations in root-system architecture elicited by B. megaterium, a suite of plant hormone mutants of Arabidopsis, including aux1-7, axr4-1, eir1, etr1, ein2, and rhd6, defective in either auxin or ethylene signaling, were evaluated for their responses to inoculation with this bacteria. When inoculated, all mutant lines tested showed increased biomass production. Moreover, aux1-7 and eir1, which sustain limited root-hair and lateral-root formation when grown in uninoculated medium, were found to increase the number of lateral roots and to develop long root hairs when inoculated with B. megaterium. The ethylene-signaling mutants etr1 and ein2 showed an induction in lateral-root formation and root-hair growth in response to bacterial inoculation. Taken together, our results suggest that plant-growth promotion and root-architectural alterations by B. megaterium may involve auxin- and-ethylene independent mechanisms. 相似文献

The root epidermis is composed of two cell types: trichoblasts (or hair cells) and atrichoblasts (or non-hair cells). In lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. Grand Rapids var. Rapidmor oscura) plants grown hydroponically in water, the root epidermis did not form root hairs. The addition of 10 µM sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a nitric oxide (NO) donor, resulted in almost all rhizodermal cells differentiated into root hairs. Treatment with the synthetic auxin 1-naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) displayed a significant increase of root hair formation (RHF) that was prevented by the specific NO scavenger carboxy-PTIO (cPTIO). In Arabidopsis, two mutants have been shown to be defective in NO production and to display altered phenotypes in which NO is implicated. Arabidopsis nos1 has a mutation in an NO synthase structural gene (NOS1), and the nia1 nia2 double mutant is null for nitrate reductase (NR) activity. We observed that both mutants were affected in their capacity of developing root hairs. Root hair elongation was significantly reduced in nos1 and nia1 nia2 mutants as well as in cPTIO-treated wild type plants. A correlation was found between endogenous NO level in roots detected by the fluorescent probe DAF-FM DA and RHF. In Arabidopsis, as well as in lettuce, cPTIO blocked the NAA-induced root hair elongation. Taken together, these results indicate that: (1) NO is a critical molecule in the process leading to RHF and (2) NO is involved in the auxin-signaling cascade leading to RHF.Key Words: auxin, nitric oxide, root hair, lettuce, arabidopsis, nos1 mutant, nia1, nia2 mutant 相似文献

We evaluated the symbiotic phenotypes of nodulation-restrictive and normal soybean isolines by inoculating Clark (genotypically Rj1Rj1) and mutant Clark-rj1 (genotypically rj1rj1) seedlings in plastic growth pouches. Nodules first appeared on Clark seedlings inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 94 after 6 days. The mean number of nodules per plant was 13.9 ± 0.8 after 24 days. In contrast, Clark-rj1 seedlings first nodulated at 12 days, and the mean number of nodules per plant was only 1.7 ± 0.3 at 24 days. Segments from infectible zones of primary roots, i.e. near the position occupied by the root tip at the time of inoculation, were sectioned serially. Clark roots contained cortical cell divisions and a few infection threads in question mark-shaped root hairs by 2 days after inoculation. Typical nodules developed soon thereafter. Analogous serially sectioned segments from Clark-rj1 roots lacked these responses. This prompted us to section nodules and adjacent tissues from other parts of Clark and Clark-rj1 roots. Clark roots contained cortical cell divisions, many associated with infected root hairs. Cortical cell divisions occasionally were present in Clark-rj1, and a few infection threads were visible in surface cells. The presence of infection threads within Clark-rj1 nodules was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Thus, although B. japonicum USDA 94 fails to elicit the wild-type spectrum of responses in the infectible zones of primary roots, it can infect Clark-rj1 via infection threads. 相似文献

MATE (multidrug and toxic compound extrusion) transporters play multiple roles in plants including detoxification, secondary metabolite transport, aluminium (Al) tolerance, and disease resistance. Here we identify and characterize the role of the Arabidopsis MATE transporter DETOXIFICATION30. AtDTX30 regulates auxin homeostasis in Arabidopsis roots to modulate root development and Al-tolerance. DTX30 is primarily expressed in roots and localizes to the plasma membrane of root epidermal cells including root hairs. dtx30 mutants exhibit reduced elongation of the primary root, root hairs, and lateral roots. The mutant seedlings accumulate more auxin in their root tips indicating role of DTX30 in maintaining auxin homeostasis in the root. Al induces DTX30 expression and promotes its localization to the distal transition zone. dtx30 seedlings accumulate more Al in their roots but are hyposensitive to Al-mediated rhizotoxicity perhaps due to saturation in root growth inhibition. Increase in expression of ethylene and auxin biosynthesis genes in presence of Al is absent in dtx30. The mutants exude less citrate under Al conditions, which might be due to misregulation of AtSTOP1 and the citrate transporter AtMATE. In conclusion, DTX30 modulates auxin levels in root to regulate root development and in the presence of Al indirectly modulates citrate exudation to promote Al tolerance. 相似文献

Chromosomal virulence (chv) mutants of Agrobacterium tumefaciens have been reported to be deficient in binding to cells of zinnia, tobacco, and bamboo. The mutants are nonpathogenic on stems of Kalanchoë, sunflower, tomato, Jerusalem artichoke, and tobacco, but they cause tumors on tubers of Solanum tuberosum. We used a root cap cell binding assay to test ability of cells from individual plants of 13 different plant species to bind parent or chv mutant bacteria. The same plants were then inoculated to test for disease response. Cells from nine of the plant species were grossly deficient in their abilities to bind mutant bacteria, and the plants inoculated with mutant bacteria failed to form tumors. In contrast, root cap cells as well as root hairs and root surfaces of S. tuberosum, S. okadae, and S. hougasii bound chv mutant bacteria as well as wild type. Nevertheless, S. tuberosum roots inoculated with mutant bacteria did not develop tumors. Although S. okadae plants inoculated with mutant bacteria formed a few tumors, and S. hougasii developed as many tumors in response to chv mutants as in response to the parent strain, the tumors induced by mutant bacteria were smaller. 相似文献

Strigolactones affect lateral root formation and root-hair elongation in Arabidopsis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Kapulnik Y Delaux PM Resnick N Mayzlish-Gati E Wininger S Bhattacharya C Séjalon-Delmas N Combier JP Bécard G Belausov E Beeckman T Dor E Hershenhorn J Koltai H 《Planta》2011,233(1):209-216
Strigolactones (SLs) have been proposed as a new group of plant hormones, inhibiting shoot branching, and as signaling molecules for plant interactions. Here, we present evidence for effects of SLs on root development. The analysis of mutants flawed in SLs synthesis or signaling suggested that the absence of SLs enhances lateral root formation. In accordance, roots grown in the presence of GR24, a synthetic bioactive SL, showed reduced number of lateral roots in WT and in max3-11 and max4-1 mutants, deficient in SL synthesis. The GR24-induced reduction in lateral roots was not apparent in the SL signaling mutant max2-1. Moreover, GR24 led to increased root-hair length in WT and in max3-11 and max4-1 mutants, but not in max2-1. SLs effect on lateral root formation and root-hair elongation may suggest a role for SLs in the regulation of root development; perhaps, as a response to growth conditions. 相似文献

Root hairs may play a critical role in nutrient acquisition of plants grown under elevated CO(2) . This study investigated how elevated CO(2) enhanced the development of root hairs in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. The plants under elevated CO(2) (800 μL L(-1)) had denser and longer root hairs, and more H-positioned cells in root epidermis than those under ambient CO(2) (350 μL L(-1)). The elevated CO(2) increased auxin production in roots. Under elevated CO(2) , application of either 1-naphthoxyacetic acid (1-NOA) or N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) blocked the enhanced development of root hairs. The opposite was true when the plants under ambient CO(2) were treated with 1-naphthylacetic acid (NAA), an auxin analogue. Furthermore, the elevated CO(2) did not enhance the development of root hairs in auxin-response mutants, axr1-3, and auxin-transporter mutants, axr4-1, aux1-7 and pin1-1. Both elevated CO(2) and NAA application increased expressions of caprice, triptychon and rho-related protein from plants 2, and decreased expressions of werewolf, GLABRA2, GLABRA3 and the transparent testa glabra 1, genes related to root-hair development, while 1-NOA and NPA application had an opposite effect. Our study suggests that elevated CO(2) enhanced the development of root hairs in Arabidopsis via the well-characterized auxin signalling and transport that modulate the initiation of root hairs and the expression of its specific genes. 相似文献

Two recessive mutant alleles at CAN OF WORMS1 (COW1), a new locus involved in root hair morphogenesis, have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana L. Heynh. Root hairs on Cow1- mutants are short and wide and occasionally formed as pairs at a single site of hair formation. The COW1 locus maps to chromosome 4. Root hairs on Cow1- plants form in the usual positions, suggesting that the phenotype is not the result of abnormal positional signals. Root hairs on Cow1- roots begin hair formation normally, forming a small bulge, or root hair initiation site, of normal size and shape and in the usual position on the hair-forming cell. However, when Cow1- root hairs start to elongate by tip growth, abnormalities in the shape and elongation rate of the hairs become apparent. Genetic evidence from double-mutant analysis of cow1-1 and other loci involved in root hair development supports our conclusion that COW1 is required during root hair elongation. 相似文献

Stimulation of root hair elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana by low phosphorus availability 总被引:29,自引:4,他引:25
Low phosphorus availability stimulates root hair elongation in many plants, which may have adaptive significance in soil phosphorus acquisition. We investigated the effect of low phosphorus on the elongation of Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs. Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown in plant culture containing high (1000 mmol m?3) or low (1 mmol m?3) phosphorus concentrations, and root hair elongation was analysed by image analysis. After 15d of growth, low-phosphorus plants developed root hairs averaging 0.9 mm in length while high-phosphorus plants of the same age developed root hairs averaging 0.3 mm in length. Increased root hair length in low-phosphorus plants was a result of both increased growth duration and increased growth rate. Root hair length decreased logarithmically in response to increasing phosphorus concentration. Local changes in phosphorus availability influenced root hair growth regardless of the phosphorus status of the plant. Low phosphorus stimulated root hair elongation in the hairless axr2 mutant, exogenously applied IAA stimulated root hair elongation in wild-type high-phosphorus plants and the auxin antagonist CM PA inhibited root hair elongation in low-phosphorus plants. These results indicate that auxin may be involved in the low-phosphorus response in root hairs. 相似文献

The Effect of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens attR Mutation on Attachment and Root Colonization Differs between Legumes and Other Dicots

Infections of wound sites on dicot plants by Agrobacterium tumefaciens result in the formation of crown gall tumors. An early step in tumor formation is bacterial attachment to the plant cells. AttR mutants failed to attach to wound sites of both legumes and nonlegumes and were avirulent on both groups of plants. AttR mutants also failed to attach to the root epidermis and root hairs of nonlegumes and had a markedly reduced ability to colonize the roots of these plants. However, AttR mutants were able to attach to the root epidermis and root hairs of alfalfa, garden bean, and pea. The mutant showed little reduction in its ability to colonize these roots. Thus, A. tumefaciens appears to possess two systems for binding to plant cells. One system is AttR dependent and is required for virulence on all of the plants tested and for colonization of the roots of all of the plants tested except legumes. Attachment to root hairs through this system can be blocked by the acetylated capsular polysaccharide. The second system is AttR independent, is not inhibited by the acetylated capsular polysaccharide, and allows the bacteria to bind to the roots of legumes. 相似文献

The rhd6 Mutation of Arabidopsis thaliana Alters Root-Hair Initiation through an Auxin- and Ethylene-Associated Process 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Root-hair initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana provides a model for studying cell polarity and its role in plant morphogenesis. Root hairs normally emerge at the apical end of root epidermal cells, implying that these cells are polarized. We have identified a mutant, rhd6, that displays three defects: (a) a reduction in the number of root hairs, (b) an overall basal shift in the site of root-hair emergence, and (c) a relatively high frequency of epidermal cells with multiple root hairs. These defects implicate the RHD6 gene in root-hair initiation and indicate that RHD6 is normally associated with the establishment of, or response to, root epidermal cell polarity. Similar alterations in the site of root-hair emergence, although less extreme, were also discovered in roots of the auxin-, ethylene-, abscisic acid-resistant mutant axr2 and the ethylene-resistant mutant etr1. All three rhd6 mutant phenotypes were rescued when either auxin (indoleacetic acid) or an ethylene precursor (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid) was included in the growth medium. The rhd6 root phenotypes could be phenocopied by treating wild-type seedlings with an inhibitor of the ethylene pathway (aminoethoxyvinylglycine). These results indicate that RHD6 is normally involved in directing the selection or assembly of the root-hair initiation site through a process involving auxin and ethylene. 相似文献

Summary Root hair formation and the development of transfer cells in the rhizodermis was investigated in various existing auxinrelated mutants ofArabidopsis thaliana and in the tomato mutantdiageotropica. Wild-type Arabidopsis plants showed increased formation of root hairs when the seedlings were cultivated in Fe- or P-free medium. These extranumerary hairs were located in normal positions and in positions normally occupied by nonhair cells, e.g., over periclinal walls of underlying cortical cells. Defects in auxin transport or reduced auxin sensitivity inhibited the formation of root hairs in response to Fe deficiency completely but did only partly affect initiation and elongation of hairs in P-deficient roots. Application of the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid or the auxin analog 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid did not rescue the phenotype of the auxin-resistantaxr2 mutant under control and Fe-deficient conditions, indicating that functionalAXR2 product is required for translating the Fe deficiency signal into the formation of extra hairs. The development of extra hairs inaxr2 roots under P-replete conditions was not affected by auxin antagonists, suggesting that this process is independent of auxin signaling. In roots of tomato, growth under Fe-deficient conditions induced the formation of transfer cells in the root epidermis. Transfer cell frequency was enhanced by application of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid but was not inhibited by the auxin transport inhibitor N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid. In thediageotropica mutant, which displays reduced sensitivity to auxin, transfer cells appeared to develop in both Fe-sufficient and Fe-deficient roots. Similar to the wild type, no reduction in transfer cell frequency was observed after application of the above auxin transport inhibitor. These data suggest that auxin has no primary function in inducing transfer cell development; the formation of transfer cells, however, appears to be affected by the hormonal balance of the plants.Abbreviations ACC

Role of cellulose fibrils and exopolysaccharides of Rhizobium leguminosarum in attachment to and infection of Vicia sativa root hairs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Infection and subsequent nodulation of legume host plants by the root nodule symbiote Rhizobium leguminosarum usually require attachment of the bacteria to root-hair tips. Bacterial cellulose fibrils have been shown to be involved in this attachment process but appeared not to be essential for successful nodulation. Detailed analysis of Vicia sativa root-hair infection by wild-type Rhizobium leguminosarum RBL5523 and its cellulose fibril-deficient celE mutant showed that wild-type bacteria infected elongated growing root hairs, whereas cellulose-deficient bacteria infected young emerging root hairs. Exopolysaccharide-deficient strains that retained the ability to produce cellulose fibrils could also infect elongated root hairs but infection thread colonization was defective. Cellulose-mediated agglutination of these bacteria in the root-hair curl appeared to prevent entry into the induced infection thread. Infection experiments with V sativa roots and an extracellular polysaccharide (EPS)- and cellulose-deficient double mutant showed that cellulose-mediated agglutination of the EPS-deficient bacteria in the infection thread was now abolished and that infection thread colonization was partially restored. Interestingly, in this case, infection threads were initiated in root hairs that originated from the cortical cell layers of the root and not in epidermal root hairs. Apparently, surface polysaccharides of R. leguminosarum, such as cellulose fibrils, are determining factors for infection of different developmental stages of root hairs. 相似文献

Adhesion sites on grass roots for Klebsiella strains carrying type 3 or type 1 fimbriae or both were determined. Adhesion of the strains to the roots of Poa pratensis and Festuca rubra was highly localized; the bacteria adhered strongly to root hairs and with a markedly lower efficiency to the surface of the zone of elongation and to the root cap mucilage. No adhesion to the epidermal cells between root hairs was observed. The adhesion sites were identical for the type 3- and 1-fimbriated bacteria and for P. pratensis, F. rubra, and Trifolium pratense. Inoculation of P. pratensis seedlings with Klebsiella pneumoniae strain As resulted in morphological changes in plant roots. The roots of infected plants were heavily covered with root hairs, which often were deformed and branched. 相似文献
