insights into root deveiopment from Arabidopsis root mutants
The root provides a useful system for the analysis of plant organ formation. Mutations that affect root development and physiology have heen identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. Affected processes include emhryonic root formation, cell expansion, cell differentiation and response to environmental stimuli. Analysis of these mutations is providing insight into fundamental questions of plant devel-
متن کاملInhibition of auxin movement from the shoot into the root inhibits lateral root development in Arabidopsis.
In roots two distinct polar movements of auxin have been reported that may control different developmental and growth events. To test the hypothesis that auxin derived from the shoot and transported toward the root controls lateral root development, the two polarities of auxin transport were uncoupled in Arabidopsis. Local application of the auxin-transport inhibitor naphthylphthalamic acid (NP...
متن کاملRoot development in Arabidopsis: four mutants with dramatically altered root morphogenesis.
A genetic analysis of root development in Arabidopsis thaliana has identified mutants that have abnormal morphogenesis. Four of these root morphogenesis mutants show dramatic alterations in post-embryonic root development. The short-root mutation results in a change from indeterminate to determinate root growth and the loss of internal root cell layers. The cobra and lion's tail mutations cause...
متن کاملThe Arabidopsis root hair mutants der2-der9 are affected at different stages of root hair development.
Root hairs are an excellent model system to study cell developmental processes as they are easily accessible, single-celled, long tubular extensions of root epidermal cells. In a genetic approach to identify loci important for root hair development, we have isolated eight der (deformed root hairs) mutants from an ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS)-mutagenized Arabidopsis population. The der lines repr...
متن کاملDissecting Arabidopsis lateral root development.
Recent studies in the model plant Arabidopsis provide new insight into the regulation of root architecture, a key determinant of nutrient- and water-use efficiency in crops. Lateral root (LR) primordia originate from a subset of pericycle founder cells. Sophisticated mass-spectroscopy-based techniques have been used to map the sites of biosynthesis of auxin and its distribution in Arabidopsis s...
