Defining the Diverse Cell Populations Contributing to Lignification in Arabidopsis Stems.
Many land plants evolved tall and sturdy growth habits due to specialized cells with thick lignified cell walls: tracheary elements that function in water transport and fibers that function in structural support. The objective of this study was to define how and when diverse cell populations contribute lignin precursors, monolignols, to secondary cell walls during lignification of the Arabidops...
متن کاملInvestigating Biochemical and Developmental Dependencies of Lignification with a Click-Compatible Monolignol Analog in Arabidopsis thaliana Stems
Lignin is a key structural component of plant cell walls that provides rigidity, strength, and resistance against microbial attacks. This hydrophobic polymer also serves a crucial role in water transport. Despite its abundance and essential functions, several aspects of lignin biosynthesis and deposition remain cryptic. Lignin precursors are known to be synthesized in the cytoplasm by complex b...
متن کاملVisualization of plant cell wall lignification using fluorescence-tagged monolignols
Lignin is an abundant phenylpropanoid polymer produced by the oxidative polymerization of p-hydroxycinnamyl alcohols (monolignols). Lignification, i.e., deposition of lignin, is a defining feature of secondary cell wall formation in vascular plants, and provides an important mechanism for their disease resistance; however, many aspects of the cell wall lignification process remain unclear partl...
متن کاملThe eli1 mutation reveals a link between cell expansion and secondary cell wall formation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Mutants with altered patterns of lignification have been identified in a population of mutagenised Arabidopsis seedlings. One of the mutants exhibited ectopic lignification (eli) of cells throughout the plant that never normally lignify. The reduced expansion of eli1 cells resulted in a stunted phenotype, and xylem cells were misshapen and failed to differentiate into continuous strands, causin...
متن کاملFungal Infection Alters Phosphate Level and Phosphatase Profiles in Arabidopsis
Phosphorus (P), in the form of phosphate ion (Pi), is a vital element contributing in biomolecule structures, metabolic reactions, signaling pathways and energy transfer within the living cells. The objective of the present study was to assess the influence of fungal infection on Pi metabolism in compare to the effects of phosphate stress in Arabidopsis. Quantification of total P contents showe...
