The PATROL1 function in roots contributes to the increase in shoot biomass.

ABSTRACT:

Main conclusion

PATOL1 contributes to increasing biomass not only by effective stomatal movement but also by root meristematic activity. PATROL1 (PROTON ATPase TRANSLOCATION CONTROL 1), a protein with a MUN domain, is involved in the intercellular trafficking of AHA1 H⁺-ATPase to the plasma membrane in guard cells. This allows for larger stomatal opening and more efficient photosynthesis, leading to increased biomass. Although PATROL1 is expressed not only in stomata but also in other tissues of the shoot and root, the role in other tissues than stomata has not been determined yet. Here, we investigated PATROL1 functions in roots using a loss-of-function mutant and an overexpressor. Cytological observations revealed that root meristematic size was significantly smaller i
