More than 40 monogenic dwarfing mutants have been described in maize; however, the majority of these lead to great reductions
in grain yield and, consequently, they have not been used to enhance crop yield in germplasm that is sensible to lodging.
An exception in terms of commercial value is the maize mutant brachytic 2 (br2). Br2 gene was cloned in 2003, and it encodes for a protein most probably involved in auxin polar transport. We have isolated a
new brachytic mutation that is allelic to the br2 locus and denoted this novel mutant as br2–23. Characterization of this mutant revealed that the br2 mutation modified not only the length of the internodes, as previously reported, but the structure of the leaves as well.
Br2–23/br2–23 heterozygotes have a useful intermediate phenotype in terms of plant height, ear height and leaf angle, suggesting a possible
utilization of this effect in developing new hybrids. This mutant also appears to be an useful tool by which to study the
switch points of the complex developmental program determining maize plant height and architecture. 相似文献

Auxin flow is important for different root developmental processes such as root formation, emergence, elongation and gravitropism. However, the detailed information about the mechanisms regulating the auxin flow is less well understood in rice. We characterized the auxin transport‐related mutants, Ospin‐formed2‐1 (Ospin2‐1) and Ospin2‐2, which exhibited curly root phenotypes and altered lateral root formation patterns in rice. The OsPIN2 gene encodes a member of the auxin efflux carrier proteins that possibly regulates the basipetal auxin flow from the root tip toward the root elongation zone. According to DR5‐driven GUS expression, there is an asymmetric auxin distribution in the mutants that corresponded with the asymmetric cell elongation pattern in the mutant root tip. Auxin transport inhibitor, N‐1‐naphthylphthalamic acid and Ospin2‐1 Osiaa13 double mutant rescued the curly root phenotype indicating that this phenotype results from a defect in proper auxin distribution. The typical curly root phenotype was not observed when Ospin2‐1 was grown in distilled water as an alternative to tap water, although higher auxin levels were found at the root tip region of the mutant than that of the wild‐type. Therefore, the lateral root formation zone in the mutant was shifted basipetally compared with the wild‐type. These results reflect that an altered auxin flow in the root tip region is responsible for root elongation growth and lateral root formation patterns in rice. 相似文献

A number of mutations that alter the form of the compound leaf in pea (Pisum sativum) has proven useful in elucidating the role that auxin might play in pea leaf development. The goals of this study were to determine if auxin application can rescue any of the pea leaf mutants and if gibberellic acid (GA) plays a role in leaf morphogenesis in pea. A tissue culture system was used to determine the effects of various auxins, GA or a GA biosynethesis inhibitor (paclobutrazol) on leaf development. The GA mutant, nana1 (na1) was analyzed. The uni-tac mutant was rescued by auxin and GA and rescue involved both a conversion of the terminal leaflet into a tendril and an addition of a pair of lateral tendrils. This rescue required the presence of cytokinin. The auxins tested varied in their effectiveness, although methyl-IAA worked best. The terminal tendrils of wildtype plantlets grown on paclobutrazol were converted into leaflets, stubs or were aborted. The number of lateral pinna pairs produced was reduced and leaf initiation was impaired. These abnormalities resembled those caused by auxin transport inhibitors and phenocopy the uni mutants. The na1 mutant shared some morphological features with the uni mutants; including, flowering late and producing leaves with fewer lateral pinna pairs. These results show that both auxin and GA play similar and significant roles in pea leaf development. Pea leaf morphogenesis might involve auxin regulation of GA biosynthesis and GA regulation of Uni expression. 相似文献

The Arabidopsis SUC5 protein represents a classical sucrose/H+ symporter. Functional analyses previously revealed that SUC5 also transports biotin, an essential co‐factor for fatty acid synthesis. However, evidence for a dual role in transport of the structurally unrelated compounds sucrose and biotin in plants was lacking. Here we show that SUC5 localizes to the plasma membrane, and that the SUC5 gene is expressed in developing embryos, confirming the role of the SUC5 protein as substrate carrier across apoplastic barriers in seeds. We show that transport of biotin but not of sucrose across these barriers is impaired in suc5 mutant embryos. In addition, we show that SUC5 is essential for the delivery of biotin into the embryo of biotin biosynthesis‐defective mutants (bio1 and bio2). We compared embryo and seedling development as well as triacylglycerol accumulation and fatty acid composition in seeds of single mutants (suc5, bio1 or bio2), double mutants (suc5 bio1 and suc5 bio2) and wild‐type plants. Although suc5 mutants were like the wild‐type, bio1 and bio2 mutants showed developmental defects and reduced triacylglycerol contents. In suc5 bio1 and suc5 bio2 double mutants, developmental defects were severely increased and the triacylglycerol content was reduced to a greater extent in comparison to the single mutants. Supplementation with externally applied biotin helped to reduce symptoms in both single and double mutants, but the efficacy of supplementation was significantly lower in double than in single mutants, showing that transport of biotin into the embryo is lower in the absence of SUC5. 相似文献

The axr4 auxin-resistant mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana define a gene important for root gravitropism and lateral root initiation 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
To understand the molecular mechanism of auxin action, mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana with altered responses to auxin have been identified and characterized. Here the isolation of two auxin-resistant mutants that define a new locus involved in auxin response, named AXR4, is reported. The axr4 mutations are recessive and map near the ch1 mutation on chromosome 1. Mutant plants are specifically resistant to auxin and defective in root gravitropism. Double mutants between axr4 and the recessive auxin-resistant mutants axr1-3 and aux1-7 were characterized to ascertain possible genetic interactions between the mutations. The roots of the axr4 axr1-3 double mutant plants are less sensitive to auxin, respond more slowly to gravity, and form fewer lateral roots than either parental single mutant. These results suggest that the two mutations have additive or even synergistic effects. The AXR1 and AXR4 gene products may therefore act in separate pathways of auxin response or perhaps perform partially redundant functions in a single pathway. The axr4 aux1-7 double mutant has the same sensitivity to auxin as the aux1-7 mutant but forms far fewer lateral roots than either parental single mutant. The aux1-7 mutation thus appears to be epistatic to axr4 with respect to auxin-resistant root elongation, whereas in lateral root formation, the effects of the two mutations are additive. The complexity of the genetic interactions indicated by these results may reflect differences in the mechanism of auxin action during root elongation and the formation of lateral roots. The AXR4 gene product, along with those of the AXR1 and AUX1 genes, is important for normal auxin sensitivity, gravitropic response in roots and lateral root formation. 相似文献

Sur2 mutations of Arabidopsis thaliana define a new locus involved in the control of auxin homeostasis 总被引:7,自引:3,他引:4

A new auxin homeostasis gene in Arabidopsis called SUR2 has been identified. This gene, mapped to the bottom of chromosome 4, is defined by two recessive nuclear mutants designated superroot2 (sur2), which display several abnormalities reminiscent of auxin effects. A number of these characteristics are similar to the phenotype of the previously described auxin-overproducing mutant superroot1 (sur1); however, several lines of evidences reveal that the SUR2 gene defines a new key point in the regulation of endogenous auxin concentrations. The phenotype of the sur1 sur2 double mutant is additive. Analysis by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry indicated increased levels of free indole-3-acetic acid correlated with a decreased level of bound auxin in the sur2 mutant. These results suggest that SUR2 may be involved in the control of auxin conjugation. 相似文献

To study the influence of auxin on the shift from radial to bilateral symmetry during monocot embryogenesis, the fate of young wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) zygotic embryos has been manipulated in vitro by adding auxins, an auxin transport inhibitor and an auxin antagonist to the culture medium. The two synthetic auxins used, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), induced identical phenotypes. In the most severe cases, the shift from radial to bilateral symmetry was blocked resulting in continuous uniform radial growth. The natural auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) induced the same phenotype. The effect of 2,4,5-T and 2,4D depended on their concentrations and on the developmental stage of the isolated embryos. In the presence of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA), an auxin transport inhibitor, the overall embryo symmetry was abnormal. The relative position of the shoot apical meristem in comparison with the scutellum was anomalous. The quality of shoot apical meristem and the scutellum differentiation was altered compared with normal developed embryos. No root meristem was differentiated. The effect of TIBA depends on its concentration and on the developmental stage of the isolated embryos. By contrast, 2-(pchlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionic acid (PCIB) which is described as an auxin antagonist, has no visible direct effect on the embryonic symmetry. These observations indicate that auxin influences the change from radial symmetry to embryonic polarity during monocot embryogenesis. A model of auxin action during early wheat embryo development is proposed. 相似文献

Morphogenesis in pinoid mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5

A series of mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana was selected in which the inflorescence stem elongates but loses the ability to produce flower primordia on its flanks. Mutants fell into two classes, further occurrences of pin-formed mutants and mutations at a new locus named pinoid. As well as causing inflorescence defects, pinoid mutations result in pleiotropic defects in the development of floral organs, cotyledons and leaves. Most changes involve the number of organs produced rather than their differentiation suggesting that PINOID controls an early general step in meristem development. pinoid mutant defects are similar to those seen in pin-formed mutants for inflorescences and flowers, but different for cotyledons and leaves indicating that the two genes have separate but overlapping functions. A defect in polar auxin transport is implicated in the pin-formed mutant phenotype, but in young inflorescence stems of even the strongest pinoid mutants it occurs at close to wild-type levels. It is markedly reduced only after stems have ceased elongating. Thus, it is likely that polar auxin transport is secondarily affected in pinoid mutants rather than being directly controlled by the PINOID gene product. Even so, double mutant studies indicate that the process controlled by PINOID overlaps with that specified by the AUXIN RESISTANT1 gene, suggesting that PINOID plays some role in an auxin-related process. 相似文献

Results of the flower structure analysis of single mutants abr, ap3-1, and pi-1 and double mutants abr ap3-1 and abr pi-1 of the Arabidopsis thaliana are presented. An increase in the expressivity of the ap3-1 and pi-1 mutations against a background of the abr mutation which break auxin transport was detected. Unlike flowers of parental mutant plants which had stamens in our experiment,
stamens were absent in basal flowers of double mutants. It can be assumed that anomalies in auxin distributions in cells can
break the program of the development of stamens which is triggered by the ap3-1 and pi-1 alleles remaining the residual function during the plant growing at 21–24°C. 相似文献

Nine phosphatidylinositol‐specific phospholipases C (PLCs) have been identified in the Arabidopsis genome; among the importance of PLC2 in reproductive development is significant. However, the role of PLC2 in vegetative development such as in root growth is elusive. Here, we report that plc2 mutants displayed multiple auxin‐defective phenotypes in root development, including short primary root, impaired root gravitropism, and inhibited root hair growth. The DR5:GUS expression and the endogenous indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) content, as well as the responses of a set of auxin‐related genes to exogenous IAA treatment, were all decreased in plc2 seedlings, suggesting the influence of PLC2 on auxin accumulation and signalling. The root elongation of plc2 mutants was less sensitive to the high concentration of exogenous auxins, and the application of 1‐naphthaleneacetic acid or the auxin transport inhibitor N‐1‐naphthylphthalamic acid could rescue the root hair growth of plc2 mutants. In addition, the PIN2 polarity and cycling in plc2 root epidermis cells were altered. These results demonstrate a critical role of PLC2 in auxin‐mediated root development in Arabidopsis, in which PLC2 influences the polar distribution of PIN2. 相似文献

Studies of abscisic acid (ABA) and auxin have revealed that these pathways impinge on each other. The Daucus carota (L.) Dc3 promoter: uidA (-glucuronidase: GUS) chimaeric reporter (ProDc3:GUS) is induced by ABA, osmoticum, and the auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in vegetative tissues of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. Here, we describe the root tissue-specific expression of ProDc3:GUS in the ABA-insensitive-2 (abi2-1), auxin-insensitive-1 (aux1), auxin-resistant-4 (axr4), and rooty (rty1) mutants of Arabidopsis in response to ABA, IAA and synthetic auxins naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), and 2, 4-(dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid. Quantitative analysis of ProDc3:GUS expression showed that the abi2-1 mutant had reduced GUS activity in response to ABA, IAA, or 2, 4-d, but not to NAA. Similarly, chromogenic staining of ProDc3:GUS activity showed that the aux1 and axr4 mutants gave predictable hypomorphic ProDc3:GUS expression phenotypes in roots treated with IAA or 2, 4-d, but not the diffusible auxin NAA. Likewise the rty mutant, which accumulates auxin, showed elevated ProDc3:GUS expression in the absence or presence of hormones relative to wild type. Interestingly, the aux1 and axr4 mutants showed a hypomorphic effect on ABA-inducible ProDc3:GUS expression, demonstrating that ABA and IAA signaling pathways interact in roots. Possible mechanisms of crosstalk between ABA and auxin signaling are discussed. 相似文献

A root gravitropism mutant was isolated from the DuPont Arabidopsis thaliana T-DNA insertional mutagenesis collection. This mutant has reduced root gravitropism, hence the name rgrl. Roots of rgrl are shorter than those of wild-type, and they have reduced lateral root formation. In addition, roots of rgrl coil clockwise on inclined agar plates, unlike wild-type roots which grow in a wavy pattern. The rgrl mutant has increased resistance, as measured by root elongation, to exogenously applied auxins (6-fold to indole-3-acetic acid, 3-fold to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and 2-fold to napthyleneacetic acid). It is also resistant to polar auxin transport inhibitors (2-fold to triiodobenzoic acid and 3- to 5-fold lo napthyleneacetic acid). The rgrl mutant does not appear to be resistant to other plant hormone classes. When grown in the presence of 10?2 M 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, rgrl roots have fewer root hairs than wild type. All these rgrl phenotypes are Mendelian recessives. Complementation tests indicate that rgrl is not allelic to previously characterized agravitropic or auxin-resistant mutants. The rgrl locus was mapped using visible markers to 1.4 ± 0.6 map units from the CHI locus at 1–65.4. The rgrl mutation and the T-DNA cosegregate, suggesting that rgrl was caused by insertional gene inactivation. 相似文献

Arabidopsis abi3 and fus3 mutants are defective in late embryo development and their embryos show precocious growth. To understand the function and role of ABI3 and FUS3, we analyzed expression patterns of genes which were normally activated during late embryo development and germination in these mutants. Using the differential display method, both upregulated and downregulated genes were observed in immature siliques of the abi3 fus3 double mutant. Four clones having more abundant expression in the abi3 fus3 double mutant than in wild type were isolated. These genes were activated during wild-type germination, suggesting that some genes that are activated during wild-type germination are precociously activated in the abi3 fus3 mutant during late embryo development. Also, genes that were activated during wild-type germination were isolated and their expression patterns during late embryo development in the wild type and in abi3, fus3, and abi3 fus3 mutants were analyzed. Sixteen such clones were found, and 11 of these showed derepression or precocious activation of gene expression in the mutants. These results indicate that ABI3 and FUS3 negatively regulate a particular set of genes during late embryo development. We also showed that immature fus3 siliques accumulated one-third of the wild-type level of abscisic acid (ABA), but mature fus3 siliques accumulated ABA at a level comparable to that in the wild type. The possible mechanisms of controlling developmental timing in late embryo development as well as collaborative and distinct roles of ABI3 and FUS3 are discussed. 相似文献

Using a two-component Ac/Ds system consisting of a stabilized Ac element (Acc1) and a non-autonomous element (DsA), 650 families of plants carrying independent germinal DsA excisions/transpositions were isolated. Progenies of 559 of these Acc1/DsA families, together with 43 families of plants selected for excision/transposition of wild-type (wt)Ac, were subjected to a broad screening program for mutants exhibiting visible alterations. This resulted in the identification of 48 mutants showing a wide variety of mutant phenotypes, including embryo lethality (24 mutants), chlorophyll defects (5 mutants), defective seedlings (2 mutants), reduced fertility (5 mutants), reduced size (3 mutants), altered leaf morphology (2 mutants), dark green, unexpanded rosette leaves (3 mutants), and aberrant flower or shoot morphology (4 mutants). To test whether these mutants were due to transposon insertions, a series of Southern blot experiments was performed on 28 families, comparing in each case several mutant plants with others showing the wild-type phenotype. A preliminary analysis revealed in 4 of the 28 families analyzed a common, novel DsA fragment in all mutant plants, which was present only in heterozygous plants with wt phenotype, as expected for DsA insertion mutations. These four mutants included two showing embryo lethality, one with dark green, unexpanded rosette leaves and stunted inflorescences, and one with curly growth of stems, leaves and siliques. Further evidence for DsA insertion mutations was obtained for one embryo lethal mutant and for the stunted mutant, while in case of the second embryo lethal mutant, the DsA insertion could be separated from the mutant locus by genetic recombination. 相似文献

In Arabidopsis thaliana, mitochondrial-localized heat-shock cognate protein 70-1 (mtHSC70-1) plays an important role in vegetativegrowth. However, whether mtHSC70-1 affects reproductive growth remains unknown. Here, we found that the mtHSC70-1 gene was expressed in the provascular cells of the embryo proper from the early heart stage onward during embryogenesis. Phenotypic analyses of mthsc70-1 mutants revealed that mtHSC70 deficiency leads to defective embryo development and that this effect is mediated by auxin. In addition to a dwarf phenotype, the mthsc70-1 mutant displayed defects in flower morphology, anther development, and embryogenesis. At early developmental stages, the mthsc70-1 embryos exhibited abnormal cell divisions in both embryo proper and suspensor cells. From heart stage onward, they displayed an abnormal shape such as with no or very small cotyledon protrusions, had aberrant number of cotyledons, or were twisted. These embryo defects were associated with reduced or ectopic expression of auxin responsive reporter DR5rev:GFP. Consistently, the expression of auxin biosynthesis and polar auxin transport genes were markedly altered in mthsc70-1. On the other hand, mitochondrial retrograde regulation (MRR) was enhanced in mthsc70-1. Treatment of wild-type plants with an inhibitor that activates mitochondrial retrograde signaling reduced the expression level of auxin biosynthesis and polar auxin transport genes and induced phenotypes similar to those of mthsc70-1. Taken together, our data reveal that loss of function of mtHSC70-1 induces MRR, which inhibits auxin biosynthesis and polar auxin transport, leading to abnormal auxin gradients and defective embryo development.mtHSC70-1 dysfunction induces mitochondrial retrograde regulation, which inhibits auxin biosynthesis and polar auxin transport, leading to abnormal auxin gradients and defective embryo development. 相似文献
