NPY genes play an essential role in root gravitropic responses in Arabidopsis.
Plants can sense the direction of gravity and orient their growth to ensure that roots are anchored in soil and that shoots grow upward. Gravitropism has been studied extensively using Arabidopsis genetics, but the exact mechanisms for gravitropism are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that five NPY genes play a key role in Arabidopsis root gravitropism. NPY genes were previously ident...
متن کاملRole of the AtClC genes in regulation of root elongation in Arabidopsis
The protein family of anion channel (ClC) constitute a family of transmembrane trnsporters that either function as anion channel or as H+/anion exchanger. The expression of three genes of AtClCa, AtClCb and AtClCd in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana were silenced by a T-DNA insertion . When the pH of the medium was slightly acidic the length of the primary root of plants with a disrupted At...
متن کاملIdentification of gravitropic response indicator genes in Arabidopsis inflorescence stems
Differential organ growth during gravitropic response is caused by differential accumulation of auxin, that is, relative higher auxin concentration in lower flanks than in upper flanks of responding organs. Auxin responsive reporter systems such as DR5::GUS and DR5::GFP have usually been used as indicators of gravitropic response in roots and hypocotyls of Arabidopsis. However, in the infloresc...
متن کاملSphingolipids in the root play an important role in regulating the leaf ionome in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Sphingolipid synthesis is initiated by condensation of Ser with palmitoyl-CoA producing 3-ketodihydrosphinganine (3-KDS), which is reduced by a 3-KDS reductase to dihydrosphinganine. Ser palmitoyltransferase is essential for plant viability. Arabidopsis thaliana contains two genes (At3g06060/TSC10A and At5g19200/TSC10B) encoding proteins with significant similarity to the yeast 3-KDS reductase,...
متن کاملThe Arabidopsis-mei2-like genes play a role in meiosis and vegetative growth in Arabidopsis.
The Arabidopsis-mei2-Like (AML) genes comprise a five-member gene family related to the mei2 gene, which is a master regulator of meiosis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and encodes an RNA binding protein. We have analyzed the AML genes to assess their role in plant meiosis and development. All five AML genes were expressed in both vegetative and reproductive tissues. Analysis of AML1-AML5 express...
