Xylem and nonxylem cell formation in cytokinin-stimulated root tissue: Quantitative analysis of temperature effects.

چکیده

Xylogenesis in mature root parenchyma is elicited in vitro by the concerted action of the hormones cytokinin and auxin. Decreasing the temperature delayed the initiation of xylogenesis relative to the initiation of nonxylem cell formation. Once xylem or nonxylem cell formation was initiated, its rate was not temperature-sensitive within the 10-25 degrees C range. Lowering the temperature after xylem formation had been initiated had little effect on xylem cell formation. Xylogenesis sensitivity to low temperature was demonstrable from the time cultures were established, even though cell division did not occur until 48-72 hr later and overt xylogenesis did not occur until 6 or 7 days later. The cold sensitivity of xylogenesis is not limited to a unique or early phase of culture.

Involvement of cytokinins in adventitious and lateral root formation

The root systems of higher plant consist of primary, lateral, and adventitious roots. There is a current hypothesis, named ‘root apical dominance’, that root-derived suppressor negatively regulates the formation of adventitious and lateral roots. According to this hypothesis, we have studied the mechanisms involved in the regulation of adventitious and lateral root formation. trans-zeatin ribos...

Genome-wide direct target analysis reveals a role for SHORT-ROOT in root vascular patterning through cytokinin homeostasis.

SHORT-ROOT (SHR) is a key regulator of root growth and development in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Made in the stele, the SHR protein moves into an adjacent cell layer, where it specifies endodermal cell fate; it is also essential for apical meristem maintenance, ground tissue patterning, vascular differentiation, and lateral root formation. Much has been learned about the mechanism by w...

Cytokinins act directly on lateral root founder cells to inhibit root initiation.

In Arabidopsis thaliana, lateral roots are formed from root pericycle cells adjacent to the xylem poles. Lateral root development is regulated antagonistically by the plant hormones auxin and cytokinin. While a great deal is known about how auxin promotes lateral root development, the mechanism of cytokinin repression is still unclear. Elevating cytokinin levels was observed to disrupt lateral ...

A bHLH Complex Activates Vascular Cell Division via Cytokinin Action in Root Apical Meristem

Higher organisms possess mechanisms to maintain stem cells' proliferative and pluripotent states in stem cell niches [1]. Plants possess two types of stem cell niches in the root and shoot apical meristems, where regulatory interactions exist between stem cells and organizing cells. Recent studies provided new insights into the molecular mechanism of stem cell maintenance [2-4]. However, earlie...

Feedback regulation of xylem cytokinin content is conserved in pea and Arabidopsis.

Increased-branching mutants of garden pea (Pisum sativum; ramosus [rms]) and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana; more axillary branches) were used to investigate control of cytokinin export from roots in relation to shoot branching. In particular, we tested the hypothesis that regulation of xylem sap cytokinin is dependent on a long-distance feedback signal moving from shoot to root. With the ex...
