The fast and transient transcriptional network of gravity and mechanical stimulation in the Arabidopsis root apex.

چکیده
Plant root growth is affected by both gravity and mechanical stimulation (Massa GD, Gilroy S [2003] Plant J 33: 435-445). A coordinated response to both stimuli requires specific and common elements. To delineate the transcriptional response mechanisms, we carried out whole-genome microarray analysis of Arabidopsis root apices after gravity stimulation (reorientation) and mechanical stimulation and monitored transcript levels of 22,744 genes in a time course during the first hour after either stimulus. Rapid, transient changes in the relative abundance of specific transcripts occurred in response to gravity or mechanical stimulation, and these transcript level changes reveal clusters of coordinated events. Transcriptional regulation occurs in the root apices within less than 2 min after either stimulus. We identified genes responding specifically to each stimulus as well as transcripts regulated in both signal transduction pathways. Several unknown genes were specifically induced only during gravitropic stimulation (gravity induced genes). We also analyzed the network of transcriptional regulation during the early stages of gravitropism and mechanical stimulation.

Role 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 کاملCo-expression and hormonal regulation of genes in response to gravity and mechanical stimulation in the Arabidopsis root apex.
Plant roots direct their growth in response to gravity, light, and mechanical stimuli. Spatial changes in the rates of cell elongation and division are responsible for the directional growth. Local changes in hormone concentration and/or sensitivity have been shown to be part of the signal transduction and response mechanisms that result in those tropic growth resonses. Part of most hormone reg...

Thermal recovery involves well-known processes such as steam injection (cyclic steam stimulation, steam drive, and steam-assisted gravity drainage), in situ combustion, and a more recent technique that consists of heating the reservoir with electrical energy. When high frequency is used for heating, it is called electromagnetic (EM) heating. The applications of EM heating for heavy-oil reservoi...
متن کاملPrimary root growth, tissue expression and co-expression analysis of a receptor kinase mutant in Arabidopsis
There is no functional annotation for the majority of the several hundreds of receptor-like kinases in plants. A direct way of inferring the function of these proteins is to study the phenotype that results from loss of function mutants such as T-DNA mutant lines. In this research a function (phenotype) to At2g37050 gene that encodes a receptor like kinase in Arabidopsis T-DNA line was...
متن کاملComparison of Working Length Determination Using Apex Locator and Conventional Radiography in Curved Canals-an In Vitro Study
Introduction: The exact measurement of the root canal length is of great importance in root canal therapy. Although, determination of the root canal length through radiography is the most common method, recently electronic apex locators are being used to determine working length and decrease the number of radiographs. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of an electronic apex l...
