Project description:Root hairs are an extensive structure of root epidermal cells and are critical for nutrient acquisition, soil anchorage, and environ- mental interactions in sessile plants. The phytohormone ethylene (ET) promotes root hair growth and also mediates the effects of different signals that stimulate hair cell development. However, the molecular basis of ET-induced root hair growth remains poorly understood. Here, we show that ET-activated transcription factor ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE 3 (EIN3) physically interacts with ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE 6 (RHD6), a well-documented positive regulator of hair cells, and that the two factors directly coactivate the hair length-determining gene RHD6-LIKE 4 (RSL4) to promote root hair elongation. Transcriptome analysis further revealed the parallel roles of the regulator pairs EIN3/EIL1 (EIN3-LIKE 1) and RHD6/ RSL1 (RHD6-LIKE 1). EIN3/EIL1 and RHD6/RSL1 coordinately en- hance root hair initiation by selectively regulating a subset of core root hair (H) genes. Thus, our work reveals a key transcriptional complex consisting of EIN3/EIL1 and RHD6/RSL1 in the control of root hair initiation and elongation, and provides a molecular framework for the integration of environmental signals and in- trinsic regulators in modulating plant organ development.

Project description:Physiological mechanisms involved in root hair development in response to magnesium (Mg) availability are unclear. This study investigated the influence of Mg availability on root hair development in arabidopsis grown in different Mg concentrations ranging from 0.5 μM to 10 mM. After 7-d treatment, root hair development was enhanced in roots exposed to low Mg but was inhibited severely in roots grown in high Mg. Low Mg (0.5 µM) enhanced many genes like LRX1, COW1, EXP7 and ROP2 that control root hair development. Low Mg supply also increased concentrations of total Ca2+ and ROS in roots, but application of either BAPTA or DPI to low Mg treatment blocked the enhanced development of root hairs. The opposite was true when the plants under high Mg (3 mM) were supplied with Ca2+ or PMS. Besides, in roots under low Mg and high Mg, the most significant biological function enrichment were in the ‘oxidation reduction’, ‘cell wall organization’, ‘ion response’. This study demonstrated that Ca2+ and ROS played critically in controlling the Mg-induced development of root hairs. Meanwhile, transcriptome analysis associated with Mg supply contributed to a better understanding of molecular events responsible for sensing Mg status. Roots were sampled from five-week-cultivated Arabidopsis after 7 d treatment of low Mg (supplied with 0.5 μM Mg2+) and high Mg (supplied with 10 mM Mg2+).

Project description:How plants determine the final size of growing cells is an important, yet unanswered question. Root hairs provide an excellent model system to study this question since their final cell size is remarkably constant under given environmental conditions. In this study we demonstrate that a trihelix transcription factor GT-2-LIKE1 (GTL1) and its homolog DF1 repress root hair growth in Arabidopsis. Our transcriptional data, combined with genome-wide chromatin binding data, show that GTL1 and DF1 directly bind the RSL4 promoter and regulate its expression to repress root hair growth. Our data further show that GTL1 and RSL4 regulate each other as well as a set of common downstream genes, many of which have previously been implicated in root hair growth. This study therefore uncovers a core regulatory module that fine-tunes the extent of root hair growth by orchestrated actions of opposing transcription factors.

Project description:Hair shape is defined in the follicle: large hair follicles produce ‘terminal’ hairs, small follicles produce fine ‘vellus’ hairs, curved follicles produce curly hair in all ethnicities, according to the available literature. In order to understand better how shape is determined in the follicle and complement the publically available knowledge on hair shape genetics, our research group undertook a global high-throughput approach to compare the levels of gene expression among straight and very curly hair. The microarray was the methodology chosen. A list of the transcripts differently expressed that pass the statistical two independent groups test including correction for multiple testing (Bonferroni-Hochberg with 0.05 cut-off) was obtained. From 85 genes that were significantly different 68 genes were more expressed in very curly hair follicles and 17 genes were more expressed in straight hair follicles.

Project description:We provide an atlas of gene and protein expression in Arabidopsis root hair cells, generated by paired-end RNA-seq and LC/MS-MS analysis from protoplasts that carry the root hair-specific pEXP7-GFP reporter construct. In total, transcripts from 23,234 genes were detected in root hairs; those related to cell wall biosynthesis and translation differed most dramatically in abundance when compared to non-GFP root protoplasts.

Project description:Aim: To determine the effect of an AtrbohC mutation on the gene expression pattern in primary root tissue, to identify candidate genes acting downstream of AtrbohC, particularly any encoding antioxidant-related proteins, signal transduction components or proteins known to be required for normal root-hair development. Background: Root-hairs are a model system for investigating plant cell polarity. The root-hair mutant rhd2 (Schiefelbein and Somerville, 1990. Plant Cell, 2:235) has short hairs that burst at their tips, (Jones and Smirnoff, unpublished). RHD2 has been cloned and is identical to AtrbohC (L. Dolan, pers. comm.), which encodes a homologue of the superoxide-generating neutrophil respiratory burst oxidase catalytic subunit gp91phox (Torres et al., 1998. Plant J., 14:365). Superoxide rapidly dismutates to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), suggesting that the rhd2 phenotype may result from reduced H2O2 levels in root-hair cells. Low doses of exogenous antioxidants phenocopy the rhd2 root-hair phenotype in wild-type plants (Jones and Smirnoff, unpublished) further supporting a role for H2O2 in root-hair growth. Fluorescent dyes that detect H2O2 show distinct localisation patterns in growing root-hair cells, (Jones and Smirnoff, unpublished). H2O2 may be an important second messenger in plant cell signalling with proposed roles in the development of cotton fibres (Potikha et al., 1999. Plant Physiol., 119: 849) and in ABA-induced stomatal closure (Zhang et al., 2001. Plant Physiol., 126: 1438). In cultured Arabidopsis cells H2O2 induces gene expression, including that of a gp91phox homologue, (Desikan et al., 1998. J. Exp. Bot., 49: 1767; Desikan, et al., 2000. Free Rad. Biol. Med., 28: 773; Baxter-Burrell et al., 2002. Science, 296: 2026) and activates a MAP kinase cascade (Desikan et al., 1999. J. Exp Bot., 50: 1863). cDNA microarray technology has been used previously to examine the effects of H2O2 on gene expression during oxidative stress (Desikan et al., 2001. Plant Physiol., 127: 159). We wish to investigate the effects of H2O2 on gene expression during root development using the rhd2 mutant. We are currently determining the expression pattern of RHD2. By extracting RNA from the small region of the primary root (for wild-type and rhd2 plants grown in sterile conditions) where root hairs are growing we hope to enrich for root-hair RNAs. This may reveal candidate genes that could be examined more closely at the single-cell level. This approach will provide new insights into the role of H2O2 in root-hair development.

Project description:The important parts of the root system are root hairs, which play a role in mineral and water uptake. Here, we present an analysis of the transcriptomic response to water deficiency of the wild-type (WT) barley cultivar ‘Karat’ and its root hairless mutant rhl1.a. A comparison of the transcriptional changes induced by water stress resulted in the identification of genes whose expression was specifically affected in each genotype. At the onset of water stress, more genes were modulated by water shortage in the roots of the WT plants than in the roots of the rhl1.a. The roots of the WT plants, but not of the rhl1.a, specifically responded with the induction of genes that are related to the ABA biosynthesis, stomata closure and cell wall biogenesis, thus indicating the specific activation of processes that are related to water stress signalling and protection. On the other hand, the processes of further response to abiotic stimuli, including hydrogen peroxide, heat and high light intensity, were specifically up-regulated in the leaves of the rhl1.a. An extended period of severe stress caused more drastic transcriptome changes in the roots and leaves of the rhl1.a mutant than in those of the WT. These results are in agreement with the much stronger damage to photosystem II in the rhl1.a mutant than in its parent cultivar after ten days of water stress. Taking into account the putative stress sensing and signalling features of the root hair transcriptome, we discuss the role of root hairs as sensors of environmental conditions.
