The dynamics of cell growth and proliferation restoration in different tissues and quiescent center (QC) in the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedling roots and also the differentiation of rhizodermal cells and lateral root initiation after 48-h treatment with 100 μM NiSO4 were studied. Within 24 h after nickel removal from medium, root growth was resumed due to the increase in the rate of cell growth in the meristem and the region where cell elongation started in control roots. Stimulation of cell proliferation was restored in the main part of the meristem and later in the initial cells of the files and QC. Cell proliferation was not observed in the QC. The time of cell proliferation resumption in the roots and in tested tissues depended on the degree of their injury by nickel treatment. In most tested roots, DNA synthesis and cell division were restored in 32 h. In the cells leaving the meristem due to the resumption of their growth and proliferation, growth of root hairs started. In 48 h, the number of roots with perished cells in the rhizodermis in the meristem was sharply increased and the regeneration of the damaged region by the cells of outer cortex was observed. Only after the appearance of root hairs, the cells coming from the meristem started to elongate. In most roots, the formation of the new elongation zone occurred in 56 h. During its formation, the initiation of lateral root primordia was shifted in the basipetal direction. It was concluded that the cessation of cell growth and proliferation under the influence of high concentration of heavy metal (HM) ions is not lethal for the root. At the action of toxic HM concentrations, the plant strategy is the maintenance of meristematic cell capacity for cell growth and proliferation resumption. The cellular mechanism of this capacity maintenance is the transition of meristematic cells from G1 phase to dormancy due to growth inhibition and the inhibition of the transition to DNA synthesis. 相似文献

Brassinosteroids (BRs) play crucial roles in plant growth and development. Previous studies have shown that BRs promote cell elongation in vegetative organs in several plant species, but their contribution to meristem homeostasis remains unexplored. Our analyses report that both loss- and gain-of-function BR-related mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana have reduced meristem size, indicating that balanced BR signalling is needed for the optimal root growth. In the BR-insensitive bri1-116 mutant, the expression pattern of the cell division markers CYCB1;1, ICK2/KRP2 and KNOLLE revealed that a decreased mitotic activity accounts for the reduced meristem size; accordingly, this defect could be overcome by the overexpression of CYCD3;1. The activity of the quiescent centre (QC) was low in the short roots of bri1-116, as reported by cell type-specific markers and differentiation phenotypes of distal stem cells. Conversely, plants treated with the most active BR, brassinolide, or mutants with enhanced BR signalling, such as bes1-D, show a premature cell cycle exit that results in early differentiation of meristematic cells, which also negatively influence meristem size and overall root growth. In the stem cell niche, BRs promote the QC renewal and differentiation of distal stem cells. Together, our results provide evidence that BRs play a regulatory role in the control of cell-cycle progression and differentiation in the Arabidopsis root meristem. 相似文献

Phosphate starvation induces a determinate developmental program in the roots of Arabidopsis thaliana 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

When growing under limiting phosphate (P) conditions, Arabidopsis thaliana plants show dramatic changes in root architecture, including a reduction in primary root length, increased formation of lateral roots and greater formation of root hairs. Here we report that primary root growth inhibition by low P is caused by a shift from an indeterminate to a determinate developmental program. In the primary root, the low P-induced determinate growth program initiates with a reduction of cell elongation followed by the progressive loss of meristematic cells. At later stages, cell proliferation ceases and cell differentiation takes place at the former cell elongation and meristematic regions of the primary root. In low P, not only the primary but also almost all mature lateral roots enter the determinate developmental program. Kinetic studies of expression of the cell cycle marker CycB1;1:uidA and the quiescent center (QC) identity marker QC46:GUS showed that in low P conditions, reduction in proliferation in the primary root was preceded by alterations in the QC. These results suggest that in Arabidopsis, P limitation can induce a determinate root developmental program that plays an important role in altering root system architecture and that the QC could act as a sensor of environmental signals. 相似文献

Summary Certain aspects of cellular behaviour in relation to growth and development of plants can be understood in terms of the cell body concept proposed by Daniel Mazia in 1993. During the interphase of the mitotic cell cycle, the plant cell body is held to consist of a nucleus and a perinuclear microtubule-organizing centre from which microtubules radiate into the cytoplasm. During mitosis and cytokinesis in meristematic cells, and also during the period of growth in post-mitotic cells immediately beyond the meristem, the plant cell body undergoes various characteristic morphological transformations, many of which are proposed as being related to changing structural connections with the actin-based component of the cytoskeleton and with specialized, plasma-membrane-associated sites at the cell periphery. In post-mitotic cells, these transformations of the plant cell body coincide with, and probably provide conditions for, the various pathways of development which such cells follow. They are also responsible, for the acquisition of new cellular polarities. Events in which the plant cell body participates include the formation of a mitotic spindle, phragmoplast, and new cell division wall, the rearrangement of a diffuse type of cell wall growth into tip growth (as occurs, e.g., during the initiation and subsequent development of root hairs), and the growth and division that occurs in reactivated vacuolate cells. If more evidence can be marshalled in support of the existence and properties of the plant cell body, then this concept could prove useful in interpreting the cytological bases of a range of developmental events in plants.Abbreviations CMT

Meristem as a Self-Renewing System: Maintenance and Cessation of Cell Proliferation (A Review) 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2
The mechanisms of the maintenance of long-term cell proliferation and its cessation in the meristem of the growing root were analyzed. Quiescent center (QC) remains in the meristem for a long time, whereas all other cells leave the meristem after several mitotic cycles. The question arises as to what extent such organization of proliferation corresponds to the concept of stem cells elaborated for animals. The definition of animal stem cells is met by the QC cells rather than by actively dividing cells that boundary it. However, QC is not a self-maintaining population of cells originated during early stages of embryogenesis; it is formed from dividing cells in the main or lateral root. After root decapitation, the QC can arise from the cells that normally would leave the meristem before long. There is a zone of the meristem whose cells are capable of remaining and forming QC after the removal of the apical part of the root. Maintenance of the size of the meristem depends on the interaction between QC, initial cells located at its surface, and the actively dividing cells. Apparently, the life span of cells in the meristem determines the time when the meristematic cell will begin the elongation. The number of cells starting the elongation depends on proliferation rate and on the changes in life span of meristematic cells which determine their initial number. The life span of the cells in the meristem for most actively dividing cells does not depend on the cell divisions, and remains unchanged in the presence of various inhibitors. As a result of inhibited proliferation in the main part of the meristem, cell divisions in the QC are activated and newly formed cells may proceed to rapid divisions. Thus, the size of the meristem is maintained by the operation of several mechanisms, and individual processes may be, on the one hand, relatively independent and, on the other hand, regulated either by feedback or directly. As a result, the root growth becomes resistant to various external events. 相似文献

Root caps (RCs) are the terminal tissues of higher plant roots. In the present study the factors controlling RC size, shape and structure were examined. It was found that this control involves interactions between the RC and an adjacent population of slowly dividing cells, the quiescent centre, QC. Using the polar auxin transport inhibitor 1-N-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA), the effects of QC activation on RC gene expression and border cell release was characterized. Ethylene was found to regulate RC size and cell differentiation, since its addition, or the inhibition of its synthesis, affected RC development. The stimulation of cell division in the QC following NPA treatment was reversed by ethylene, and quiescence was re-established. Moreover, inhibition of both ethylene synthesis and auxin polar transport triggered a new pattern of cell division in the root epidermis and led to the appearance of supernumerary epidermal cell files with cap-like characteristics. The data suggest that the QC ensures an ordered internal distribution of auxin, and thereby regulates not only the planes of growth and division in both the root apex proper and the RC meristem, but also regulates cell fate in the RC. Ethylene appears to regulate the auxin redistribution system that resides in the RC. Experiments with Arabidopsis roots also reveal that ethylene plays an important role in regulating the auxin sink, and consequently cell fate in the RC. 相似文献

The cytoskeleton of plant and animal cells serves as a transmitter, transducer, and effector of cell signaling mechanisms. In plants, pathways for proliferation, differentiation, intracellular vesicular transport, cell-wall biosynthesis, symbiosis, secretion, and membrane recycling depend on the organization and dynamic properties of actin- and tubulin-based structures that are either associated with the plasma membrane or traverse the cytoplasm. Recently, a new in vivo cytoskeletal assay (cell optical displacement assay) was introduced to measure the tension within subdomains (cortical, transvacuolar, and perinuclear) of the actin network in living plant cells. Cell optical displacement assay measurements within soybean (Glycine max [L.]) root cells previously demonstrated that lipophilic signals, e.g. linoleic acid and arachidonic acid or changes in cytoplasmic pH gradients, could induce significant reductions in the tension within the actin network of transvacuolar strands. In contrast, enhancement of cytoplasmic free Ca2+ resulted in an increase in tension. In the present communication we have used these measurements to show that a similar antipodal pattern of activity exists for auxins and cytokinins (in their ability to modify the tension within the actin network of plant cells). It is suggested that these growth substances exert their effect on the cytoskeleton through the activation of signaling cascades, which result in the production of lipophilic and ionic second messengers, both of which have been demonstrated to directly effect the tension within the actin network of soybean root cells. 相似文献

Plant root stem cells and their surrounding microenvironment,namely the stem cell niche,are hypersensitive to DNA damage.However,the molecular mechanisms that help maintain the genome stability of root stem cells remain elusive.Here we show that the root stem cells in the skbl(Shk1 kinase binding protein 1) mutant undergoes DNA damage-induced cell death,which is enhanced when combined with a lesion of the Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated(ATM) or the ATM/RAD3-related(ATR) genes,suggesting that the SKBI plays a synergistically effect with ATM and ATR in DNA damage pathway.We also provide evidence that SKBI is required for the maintenance of quiescent center(QC),a root stem cell niche,under DNA damage treatments.Furthermore,we report decreased and ectopic expression of SHORTROOT(SHR) in response to DNA damage in the skbl root tips,while the expression of SCARECROW(SCR) remains unaffected.Our results uncover a new mechanism of plant root stem cell maintenance under DNA damage conditions that requires SKB1. 相似文献

Root apical meristem (RAM) drives post‐embryonic root growth by constantly supplying cells through mitosis. It is composed of stem cells and their derivatives, the transit‐amplifying (TA) cells. Stem cell organization and its maintenance in the RAM are well characterized, however, their relationships with TA cells remain unclear. SHORTROOT (SHR) is critical for root development. It patterns cell types and promotes the post‐embryonic root growth. Defective root growth in the shr has been ascribed to the lack of quiescent center (QC), which maintains the surrounding stem cells. However, our recent investigation indicated that SHR maintains TA cells independently of QC by modulating PHABULOSA (PHB) through miRNA165/6. PHB controls TA cell activity by modulating cytokinin levels and type B Arabidopsis Response Regulator activity, in a dosage‐dependent manner. To further understand TA cell regulation, we conducted a shr suppressor screen. With an extensive mutagenesis screen followed by genome sequencing of a pooled F2 population, we discovered two suppressor alleles with mutations in HAWAIIAN SKIRT (HWS). HWS, encoding an F‐box protein with kelch domain, is expressed, partly depending on SHR, in the root cap and in the pericycle of the differentiation zone. Interestingly, root growth in the shr hws was more active than the wild‐type roots for the first 7 days after germination, without recovering QC. Contrary to shr phb, shr hws did not show a recovery of cytokinin signaling. These indicate that HWS affects QC‐independent TA cell activities through a pathway distinctive from PHB. 相似文献

Quiescent center formation in maize roots is associated with an auxin-regulated oxidizing environment 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
Embedded within the meristem of all Angiosperm roots is a population of slowly dividing cells designated the quiescent center (QC). In maize roots the QC can constitute upwards of 800-1200 cells, most of which spend an extended period of time (180-200 hours) in the G(1) phase of the cell cycle. How the QC forms and is maintained is not known. Here we report that cells of the QC are characterized by their highly oxidized status. Glutathione and ascorbic acid occur predominately in the oxidized forms in the QC. This is contrasted with the status of these redox intermediates in adjacent, rapidly dividing cells in the root meristem, in which the reduced forms of these two species are favored. Using a redox sensitive fluorescent dye we were able to visualize an overall oxidizing environment in the QC, and we also made comparisons with the adjacent, rapidly dividing cells in the root meristem. Altering the distribution of auxin and the location of the auxin maximum in the root tip activates the QC, and cells leave G(1) and enter mitosis. Commencement of relatively more rapid cell division in the QC is preceded by changes in the overall redox status of the QC, which becomes less oxidizing. We discuss how the position of the auxin maximum may influence the redox status of the QC and thereby modulate the cell cycle. 相似文献

Some species of Cactaceae from the Sonoran Desert are characterized by a determinate growth pattern of the primary root, which is important for rapid lateral-root formation and seedling establishment. An analysis of the determinate root growth can be helpful for understanding the mechanism of meristem maintenance in plants in general. Stenocereus gummosus (Engelm.) Gibson & Horak and Pachycereus pringlei (S. Watson) Britton & Rose are characterized by an open type of root apical meristem. Immunohistochemical analysis of 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine incorporation into S. gummosus showed that the percentage of cells passing through the S-phase in a 24-h period is the same within the zone where a population of relatively slowly proliferating cells could be established and above this zone in the meristem. This indicated the absence of the quiescent center (QC) in S. gummosus. During the second and the third days of growth, in the distal meristem portion of P. pringlei roots, a compact group of cells that had a cell cycle longer than in the proximal meristem was found, indicating the presence of the QC. However, later in development, the QC could not be detected in this species. These data suggest that during post-germination the absence of the establishment of the QC within the apical meristem and limited proliferative activity of initial cells are the main components of a determinate developmental program and that establishment of the QC is required for maintenance of the meristem and indeterminate root growth in plants.Abbreviations QC quiescent center - RCP root cap-protoderm - BrdU 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine - FITC fluorescein isothiocyanate - DAPI 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole 相似文献

Structure and growth of infection threads in the legume symbiosis with Rhizobium leguminosarum 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Anne L. Rae Paola Bonfante-Fasolo Nicholas J. Brewin 《The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology》1992,2(3):385-395
Specific antibodies and enzyme–gold probes were used to study the structure and development of infection threads in nodules induced by Rhizobium leguminosarum on the roots of Vicia, Pisum and Phaseolus. In Pisum nodules, the tubular infection thread wall contains polysaccharides antigenically similar to those of the cell wall, including cellulose, xyloglucan, methyl-esterified pectin and non-esterified pectin, but none of these wall components is present around the infection droplet structures from which bacteria are internalized by plant plasma membrane. As reported previously for pea nodules, the luminal matrix of infection threads and infection droplets contains a plant glycoprotein; this glycoprotein is also secreted by infected and uninfected cortical cells of a Vicia root at the earliest stages of nodule initiation. Synthesis of a transcellular infection thread apparently involves reorganized deposition of components normally targeted to the cell wall, and infection thread growth is orientated anticlinally through the outer cortex in the same plane observed for the deposition of new cell walls following mitosis. Both the development of infection threads in the outer cortex and the initiation of cell division in the inner cortex are preceded by a similar process of cell reactivation involving centralization of nuclei and the development of anticlinal transvacuolar strands. It is therefore suggested that the two Rhizobium-induced processes of infection thread growth and cortical cell division may both be consequences of a similar plant cell response in the inner and outer root cortex, respectively. Phaseolus nodules contained only short intracellular infection structures which terminated within individual cells and contained no luminal matrix material. The differences in infection thread structure between Pisum and Phaseolus nodules may reflect differences in ontogeny between “indeterminate” and “determinate” nodule meristems. 相似文献
