Two phylogenetically unrelated peptide-receptor modules jointly regulate lateral root initiation via a partially shared signaling pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: Peptide-receptor signaling is an important system for intercellular communication, regulating many developmental processes. A single process can be controlled by several distinct signaling peptides. However, since peptide-receptor modules are usually studied separately, their mechanistic interactions remain largely unexplored. Two phylogenetically unrelated peptide-receptor modules, GLV6/GLV10-RGI and TOLS2/PIP2-RLK7, independently described as inhibitors of lateral root initiation, show striking similarities between their expression patterns and gain- and loss-of-function phenotypes, suggesting a common function during lateral root spacing and initiation. The GLV6/GLV10-RGI and TOLS2/PIP2-RLK7 modules trigger similar transcriptional changes, likely in part via WRKY transcription factors. Their overlapping set of response genes includes PUCHI and PLT5, both required for the effect of GLV6/10, as well as TOLS2, on lateral root initiation. Furthermore, both modules require the activity of MPK6 and can independently trigger MPK3/MPK6 phosphorylation. The GLV6/10 and TOLS2/PIP2 signaling pathways seem to converge in the activation of MPK3/MPK6, leading to the induction of a similar transcriptional response in the same target cells, thereby regulating lateral root initiation through a (partially) common mechanism. Convergence of signaling pathways downstream of phylogenetically unrelated peptide-receptor modules adds an additional, and hitherto unrecognized, level of complexity to intercellular communication networks in plants.

Mechanical induction of lateral root initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Lateral roots are initiated postembryonically in response to environmental cues, enabling plants to explore efficiently their underground environment. However, the mechanisms by which the environment determines the position of lateral root formation are unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that in Arabidopsis thaliana lateral root initiation can be induced mechanically by either gravitropic curvature or by the transient bending of a root by hand. The plant hormone auxin accumulates at the site of lateral root induction before a primordium starts to form. Here we describe a subcellular relocalization of PIN1, an auxin transport protein, in a single protoxylem cell in response to gravitropic curvature. This relocalization precedes auxin-dependent gene transcription at the site of a new primordium. Auxin-dependent nuclear signaling is necessary for lateral root formation; arf7/19 double knock-out mutants normally form no lateral roots but do so upon bending when the root tip is removed. Signaling through arf7/19 can therefore be bypassed by root bending. These data support a model in which a root-tip-derived signal acts on downstream signaling molecules that specify lateral root identity.

The circadian clock rephases during lateral root organ initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:The endogenous circadian clock enables organisms to adapt their growth and development to environmental changes. Here we describe how the circadian clock is employed to coordinate responses to the key signal auxin during lateral root (LR) emergence. In the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, LRs originate from a group of stem cells deep within the root, necessitating that new organs emerge through overlying root tissues. We report that the circadian clock is rephased during LR development. Metabolite and transcript profiling revealed that the circadian clock controls the levels of auxin and auxin-related genes including the auxin response repressor IAA14 and auxin oxidase AtDAO2. Plants lacking or overexpressing core clock components exhibit LR emergence defects. We conclude that the circadian clock acts to gate auxin signalling during LR development to facilitate organ emergence.

Integration of Cell Growth and Asymmetric Division during Lateral Root Initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Lateral root formation determines to a large extent the ability of plants to forage their environment and thus their growth. In Arabidopsis thaliana and other angiosperms, lateral root initiation requires radial cell expansion and several rounds of anticlinal cell divisions that give rise to a central core of small cells, which express different markers than the larger surrounding cells. These small central cells then switch their plane of divisions to periclinal and give rise to seemingly morphologically similar daughter cells that have different identities and establish the different cell types of the new root. Although the execution of these anticlinal and periclinal divisions is tightly regulated and essential for the correct development of the lateral root, we know little about their geometrical features. Here, we generate a four-dimensional reconstruction of the first stages of lateral root formation and analyze the geometric features of the anticlinal and periclinal divisions. We identify that the periclinal divisions of the small central cells are morphologically dissimilar and asymmetric. We show that mother cell volume is different when looking at anticlinal vs. periclinal divisions and the repeated anticlinal divisions do not lead to reduction in cell volume, although cells are shorter. Finally, we show that cells undergoing a periclinal division are characterized by a strong cell expansion. Our results indicate that cells integrate growth and division to precisely partition their volume upon division during the first two stages of lateral root formation.

TOR acts as a metabolic gatekeeper for auxin-dependent lateral root initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Plant organogenesis requires matching the available metabolic resources to developmental programs. In Arabidopsis, the root system is determined by primary root-derived lateral roots (LRs) and adventitious roots (ARs) that are formed from non-root organs. LR formation entails the auxin-dependent activation of transcription factors ARF7, ARF19, and LBD16. AR formation relies on LBD16 activation by auxin and WOX11. The allocation of shoot-derived sugar to the roots influences branching, but how its availability is sensed for LRs formation remains unknown. We combine metabolic profiling with cell-specific interference to show that LRs switch to glycolysis and consume carbohydrates. The target-of-rapamycin (TOR) kinase is activated in the lateral root domain. Interfering with TOR kinase blocks LR initiation while promoting AR formation. TOR inhibition marginally affects the auxin-induced transcriptional response of the pericycle but attenuates the translation of ARF19, ARF7, and LBD16. TOR inhibition induces WOX11 transcription in these cells, yet no root branching occurs as TOR controls LBD16 translation. TOR is a central gatekeeper for root branching that integrates local auxin-dependent pathways with systemic metabolic signals, modulating the translation of auxin-induced genes.

RNA-seq GLV6 overexpression during lateral root initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:The goal of this experiment was to identify the downstream targets of the GOLVEN6 peptide signaling pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana, specifically during lateral root initiation. Using an estradiol inducible GLV6 overexpression construct in wildtype and rgi1rgi5 double mutant (mutant in receptors for the GLV6 peptide) backgrounds, in combination with gravistimulation induced lateral root formation, the RGI receptor dependent transcriptional effects of GLV6 overexpression were characterized. An estradiol inducible GLV6 overexpression line in a wildtype (iGLV6) and in an rgi1rgi5 double receptor mutant background (rgi1rgi5/iGLV6) were used. 4-day old seedlings of both lines were gravistimulated (vertically grown seedlings were turned counterclockwise by 90°) to induce lateral root initiation in the resulting root bends. 8h after gravistimulation, seedlings of both lines were treated with 2µM of estradiol to induce GLV6 overexpression, or DMSO as a mock treatment. 3h and 6h after treatment, root bends were dissected and collected for RNA-sequencing. This yielded a total of 8 samples per replicate; 3h mock treated iGLV6 (IM3), 3h estradiol treated iGLV6 (IE3), 3h mock treated rgi1rgi5/iGLV6 (RM3), 3h estradiol treated rgi1rgi5/iGLV6 (RE3), 6h mock treated iGLV6 (IM6), 6h estradiol treated iGLV6 (IE6), 6h mock treated rgi1rgi5/iGLV6 (RM6), 6h estradiol treated rgi1rgi5/iGLV6 (RE6). For each sample, 4 replicates were obtained. This setup enabled the comparison of the GLV6 induced transcriptional effects between wildtype and rgi1rgi5 mutants at 2 time points after treatment, in samples that are strongly enriched for lateral root initiation events.

Transcriptomics of lateral root initiation in Maize

Project description:We developed a method to synchronize the induction of lateral roots in primary and adventitious roots of Zea mays, and used it to perform a genome-wide transcriptome analysis of the pericycle cells in front of the phloem poles during lateral root initiation. Lateral roots were induced in primary and adventitious roots of Maize. For the primary root, plants were germinated and grown 64 hours in NPA 50 ÂµM, and then transfered to NAA 50 ÂµM. For the adventitious roots, plants were germinated and grown in water for 6 days, then tranfered 4 days in NPA 25 ÂµM, and finally transfered to NAA 25 ÂµM. For all these roots, pericycle cells located in front of the phloem poles in segments of roots located between 5 and 10 mm distance from the root tip were isolated using laser capture microdissection after cryosection. Material was sampled at 0 hours (NPA) and after 2, 3 and 4 hours of NAA treatment, for both the primary and adventitious roots and also after 6 hours and 9 hours of NAA treatment for the adventitious roots.

SLR/IAA14-dependent auxin induced lateral root initiation

Project description:Lateral root initiation was used as a model system to study the mechanisms behind auxin-induced cell division. Genome-wide transcriptional changes were monitored during the early steps of lateral root initiation. Inclusion of the dominant auxin signaling mutant solitary root1 (slr1) identified genes involved in lateral root initiation that act downstream of the AUX/IAA signaling pathway. Interestingly, key components of the cell cycle machinery were strongly defective in slr1, suggesting a direct link between AUX/IAA signaling and core cell cycle regulation. However, induction of the cell cycle in the mutant background by overexpression of the D-type cyclin (CYCD3;1) was able to trigger complete rounds of cell division in the pericycle that did not result in lateral root formation. Therefore, lateral root initiation can only take place when cell cycle activation is accompanied by cell fate respecification of pericycle cells. The microarray data also yielded evidence for the existence of both negative and positive feedback mechanisms that regulate auxin homeostasis and signal transduction in the pericycle, thereby fine-tuning the process of lateral root initiation.

Arabidopsis thaliana RALF1 opposes brassinosteroid effects on root cell elongation and lateral root formation.

Project description:Rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) is a peptide signal that plays a basic role in cell biology and most likely regulates cell expansion. In this study, transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana lines with high and low levels of AtRALF1 transcripts were used to investigate this peptide's mechanism of action. Overexpression of the root-specific isoform AtRALF1 resulted in reduced cell size. Conversely, AtRALF1 silencing increased root length by increasing the size of root cells. AtRALF1-silenced plants also showed an increase in the number of lateral roots, whereas AtRALF1 overexpression produced the opposite effect. In addition, four AtRALF1-inducible genes were identified: two genes encoding proline-rich proteins (AtPRP1 and AtPRP3), one encoding a hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (AtHRPG2), and one encoding a xyloglucan endotransglucosylase (TCH4). These genes were expressed in roots and involved in cell-wall rearrangement, and their induction was concentration dependent. Furthermore, AtRALF1-overexpressing plants were less sensitive to exogenous brassinolide (BL); upon BL treatment, the plants showed no increase in root length and a compromised increase in hypocotyl elongation. In addition, the treatment had no effect on the number of emerged lateral roots. AtRALF1 also induces two brassinosteroid (BR)-downregulated genes involved in the BR biosynthetic pathway: the cytochrome P450 monooxygenases CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHISM AND DWARFISM (CPD) and DWARF4 (DWF4). Simultaneous treatment with both AtRALF1 and BL caused a reduction in AtRALF1-inducible gene expression levels, suggesting that these signals may compete for components shared by both pathways. Taken together, these results indicate an opposing effect of AtRALF1 and BL, and suggest that RALF's mechanism of action could be to interfere with the BR signalling pathway.
