Comparing regional transcript profiles from maize primary roots under well-watered and low water potential conditions.
Regionally distinct elongation responses to water stress in the maize primary root tip have been observed in the past. A genetic basis for such differential responses has been demonstrated. Normalized bar-coded cDNA libraries were generated for four regions of the root tip, 0-3 mm (R1), 3-7 mm (R2), 7-12 mm (R3), and 12-20 mm (R4) from the root apex, and transcript profiles for these regions we...
متن کاملRegulation of growth anisotropy in well-watered and water-stressed maize roots. II. Role Of cortical microtubules and cellulose microfibrils
We tested the hypothesis that the degree of anisotropic expansion of plant tissues is controlled by the degree of alignment of cortical microtubules or cellulose microfibrils. Previously, for the primary root of maize (Zea mays L.), we quantified spatial profiles of expansion rate in length, radius, and circumference and the degree of growth anisotropy separately for the stele and cortex, as ro...
متن کاملA comparison of summertime water and CO2 fluxes over rangeland for well watered and drought conditions
Continuous measurements of the surface energy balance components (net radiation Rn, sensible heat flux H, latent heat flux LE, ground heat flux G, and CO2 fluxes began in early June of 1995 at the Little Washita Watershed, near Chickasha, Oklahoma. A severe drought during 1998 provided a unique opportunity to evaluate the range of fluxes that can be expected during the summer period. Data obtai...
متن کاملArbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis increases relative apoplastic water flow in roots of the host plant under both well-watered and drought stress conditions.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The movement of water through mycorrhizal fungal tissues and between the fungus and roots is little understood. It has been demonstrated that arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis regulates root hydraulic properties, including root hydraulic conductivity. However, it is not clear whether this effect is due to a regulation of root aquaporins (cell-to-cell pathway) or to enhan...
متن کاملRoot growth maintenance during water deficits: physiology to functional genomics.
Progress in understanding the network of mechanisms involved in maize primary root growth maintenance under water deficits is reviewed. These include the adjustment of growth zone dimensions, turgor maintenance by osmotic adjustment, and enhanced cell wall loosening. The role of the hormone abscisic acid (ABA) in maintaining root growth under water deficits is also addressed. The research has t...
