Project description:Arable soils are extremely heterogeneous in spatial nutrient distribution. It is well documented that lateral roots (LRs) proliferate in nitrate-rich patch. Yet less information is available as to which genes are involved in this process, in particular in cereals. To understand the molecular mechanism for local nitrate induced LR growth in maize (Zea mays L.), we analyzed the gene expression profiling in maize root in early response (1 hour) to local nitrate stimulation by using Maize Oligonucleotide Array (http://www.maizearray.org) and a split-root system. Selected differentially expressed genes were further confirmed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The results showed that reception and/or transduction of local NO3- signal involve some important protein kinases and protein phosphatases (histidine kinases, serine/threonine kinases, protein phosphatase 2A etc.) and transcription factors (F-box, Zinc finger, Myb and bZIP transcription factors and response regulator). Increasing expression of genes encoding auxin response factor 7b, ethylene receptor, and cytokinin oxidase suggests strong interaction among hormonal pathways and local NO3- signaling pathways. Genes involving NO3- uptake and assimilation (NRT2.1, NR, etc.), sugar transport (a sugar transporter) and utilization (a sucrose synthase) were enhanced in the N-fed root. Furthermore, local NO3- induces rapid expression of genes related to cell division and expansion such as alpha-expansin, celluose synthase, kinesin, plasma membrane and tonoplast aquaporins. Based on the differentially expressed genes, a putative model which combines both the 'NO3- signal' and 'metabolic sink' theories is proposed to explain the molecular mechanism controlling local nitrate induced LR elongation in maize. plants were pre-cultured in solution containing 0.5 mmol L-1 NO3- for 6 days and then transferred to N-free solution to grow for another 2 days. Then these plants were transferred to a two-compartment split-root system with only half root supplied with 1.0 mmol L-1 NO3-. Supply of Ca2+ in the N-free half was compensated by adding 1.0 mmol L-1 CaCl2. One hour after the local nitrate treatment, root segments (15cm from root tip to lateral root elongation zone) were sampled for RNA extraction. Two biological replicates were performed for each treatment.

Project description:Auxin is a key phytohormone regulating central processes in plants that include embryo development, lateral root growth and flower maturation among others. Auxin is sensed by a set of F-Box proteins of the TIR1/AFB3 family triggering auxin dependent responses by a pathway that involves an interplay between the Aux/IAA transcription repressors and the ARF transcription factors. We have previously shown that the AFB3 auxin receptor has a specific role in coordinating primary and lateral root growth to external and internal nitrate availability (Vidal et al., 2010). In this work, we used an integrated genomics, bioinformatics and molecular genetics approach to dissect regulatory networks acting downstream AFB3 that are activated by a transient nitrate treatment in Arabidopsis roots. Our systems approach unraveled key components of the AFB3 regulatory network leading to changes in lateral root growth in response to nitrate.

Arabidopsis seedlings of the Ws and afb3-1 genotypes were grown on hydroponic medium containing 1X MS salts without Nitrogen, supplemented with 0.5 mM ammonium succinate as Nitrogen source and 3 mM sucrose on a Percival chamber under a photoperiod of 16 hours of light (100 μE/m2/sec) and 8 hours of dark at 22°C for 14 days. The plants were treated at the onset of the light cycle with 5 mM KNO3 or 5 mM KCl as control for 2 hours. Whole roots were cut from seedlings and frozen on liquid Nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted using the TriZol reagent. 3 independent biological replicates were performed.

Project description:Maize root responds to nitrate by modulating its development thorough the coordinated action of many players, interacting one each other. Among them, nitric oxide is produced in primary root of previously deprived seedlings early after the nitrate provision, thus inducing root elongation. In this study, a molecular untargeted approach was applied to discriminate the signaling and physiological pathways regulated by nitrate through nitric oxide from those regulated by nitrate itself of by further downstream factors. To this aim an RNA-sequencing approach was applied to discover the main molecular signatures distinguishing the response of maize root to nitrate according to their dependency, or independency on nitric oxide. A set of subsequent detailed functional annotation tools (Gene Ontology enrichment, MapMan, KEGG reconstruction pathway, transcription factors detection) were used to try to gain further information on the importance of this molecule in the regulation of the maize transcriptional response to nitrate. Besides, the lateral root density was measured both in the presence of nitrate and in the presence of nitrate plus cPTIO, a specific NO scavenger, and compared to that observed for N-depleted roots. Our results led to identify six clusters of transcripts according to their responsiveness to nitric oxide and to their regulation by nitrate provision. In general, common and specific features for the six clusters were identified allowing to discompose the overall root response to nitrate according to its dependency on nitric oxide.

Project description:We would like to know how symbiotic molecules such as Nod Factors (NF) influence lateral root (LR) development in M. truncatula. We have preliminary evidence that this action is through early stages of root development. Auxin is the major phytohormone controlling LR development and we also have evidence that NF interfere with auxin for the control of LR development. This transcriptomic study aims at finding new molecular targets that would be responsive to auxin and NF treatment, even at a higher level by the combination of both auxin and NF. Such targets could be involved in the control or early development stages of LR that would be controlled both by auxin and NF treatment. - 2 day old M. truncatula (accession A17) plantlets grown on M medium were transferred for 2 days on M medium+ 10-5M NPA (1-N-Naphthylphthalamic acid, auxin transport inhibitor) then transferred for 10 h on M medium containing 10-6 M NAA (naphthalene-1-acetic acid, permeant auxin analog) or 10-7 M Nod factors (NF) or a combination of both (10-6 M NAA + 10-7 M NF). These are compared to mock treated (solvent only) plants. 12plex_med_2013_04 12 dye-swap - treated vs untreated comparison

Project description:The acquisition of water and nutrients by plant roots is a fundamental aspect of agriculture and strongly depends on root architecture. Root branching and expansion of the root system is achieved through the development of lateral roots and is to a large extent controlled by the plant hormone auxin. However, the pleiotropic effects of auxin or auxin-like molecules on root systems complicate the study of lateral root development. Here we describe a small-molecule screen in Arabidopsis thaliana that identified naxillin as what is to our knowledge the first non-auxin-like molecule that promotes root branching. By using naxillin as a chemical tool, we identified a new function for root cap-specific conversion of the auxin precursor indole-3-butyric acid into the active auxin indole-3-acetic acid and uncovered the involvement of the root cap in root branching. Delivery of an auxin precursor in peripheral tissues such as the root cap might represent an important mechanism shaping root architecture. To further explore the specificity of naxillin for lateral root development, we compared the early effects of naxillin at the transcriptome level with NAA (1-Naphthaleneacetic acid) in roots of 3-day-old seedlings after 2-h and 6-h treatment. Arabidopsis thaliana (L). Heynh., Col-0 seeds were germinated vertically on solid medium derived from standard MS medium supplemented with 10 μM NPA (1-N-Naphthylphthalamic acid). Three days after germination, plants were transferred to 10 μM NAA (1-Naphthaleneacetic acid) or 50 μM naxillin for 2 and 6 hours. Plants were sampled before (Roots at T0, NPA) or after treatment (Roots at T1 and T2). RNA isolation was performed on 500 root sections (only root without meristems) for each sample. All sampling points were performed in three independent experiments.

Abstract:
Gravity profoundly influences plant growth and development. Plants respond to changes in orientation by using gravitropic responses to modify their growth. Cholodny and Went hypothesized over 80 years ago that plants bend in response to a gravity stimulus by generating a lateral gradient of a growth regulator at an organ's apex, later found to be auxin. Auxin regulates root growth by targeting Aux/IAA repressor proteins for degradation. We used an Aux/IAA-based reporter, domain II (DII)-VENUS, in conjunction with a mathematical model to quantify auxin redistribution following a gravity stimulus. Our multidisciplinary approach revealed that auxin is rapidly redistributed to the lower side of the root within minutes of a 90° gravity stimulus. Unexpectedly, auxin asymmetry was rapidly lost as bending root tips reached an angle of 40° to the horizontal. We hypothesize roots use a "tipping point" mechanism that operates to reverse the asymmetric auxin flow at the midpoint of root bending. These mechanistic insights illustrate the scientific value of developing quantitative reporters such as DII-VENUS in conjunction with parameterized mathematical models to provide high-resolution kinetics of hormone redistribution.
This model corresponds to the full model described in the article.

This model corresponds to the simplified model described in the article. It is assumed that, on the timescale of DII-VENUS degradation, the concentrations of auxin, TIR1/AFB, and their complexes can be approximated by quasi-steady-state expressions. This reduced the full model to a single ODE that describes how the DII-VENUS dynamics depend on the auxin influx and four parameter groupings.
