A CYBDOM protein impacts iron homeostasis and primary root growth under phosphate deficiency in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: Phosphate is an essential macronutrient required for plant growth and development. However, it is present at suboptimal levels in many terrestrial ecosystems. To ameliorate this limitation, plants have evolved developmental and physiological mechanisms known as phosphate starvation responses (PSR). One of the main PSR in Arabidopsis thaliana is a deep restructuration of the root system architecture, which includes a reduction in primary root growth resulting in a shallower root system better adapted to explore the nutrient-rich topsoil. Intense research over the last years has shown that this developmental change is dependent on the accumulation and redistribution of iron (Fe) at the root tip, which in turn, participates in Fenton reactions and generates reactive oxygen species that affect meristem function and cell elongation. We have recently identified and characterized a cytochrome-containing protein in A. thaliana, named CRR, which is involved in the primary root growth response to phosphate starvation. Our results showed that CRR is an ascorbate-dependent ferric-reductase whose expression levels modulates iron distribution pattern in the root, affecting meristem function and cell elongation. Moreover, this activity also has shown to be critical for iron toxicity tolerance since CRR determines the transport rate of iron from root to shoot.

Project description:Low phosphate concentrations are frequently a constraint for maize growth and development, and therefore, enormous quantities of phosphate fertilizer are expended in maize cultivation, which increases the cost of planting. Low phosphate stress not only increases root biomass but can also cause significant changes in root morphology. Low phosphate availability has been found to favor lateral root growth over primary root growth by dramatically reducing primary root length and increasing lateral root elongation and lateral root density in Arabdopsis. While in our assay when inbred line Q319 subjected to phosphate starvation, The numbers of lateral roots and lateral root primordia were decreased after 6 days of culture in a low phosphate solution (LP) compared to plants grown under normal conditions (sufficient phosphate, SP), and these differences were increased associated with the stress caused by phosphate starvation. However, the growth of primary roots appeared not to be sensitive to low phosphate levels. This is very different to Arabidopsis. To elucidate how low phosphate levels regulate root modifications, especially lateral root development, a transcriptomic analysis of the 1.0-1.5 cm lateral root primordium zone (LRZ) of maize Q319 treated after 2 and 8 days by low phosphate was completed respectively. The present work utilized an Arizona Maize Oligonucleotide array 46K version slides, which contained 46,000 maize 70-mer oligonucleotides designated by TIGR ID, and the sequence information is available at the website of the Maize Oligonucleotide Array Project as the search item representing the >30,000 identifiable unique maize genes (details at http://www.maizearray.org). Keywords: low phosphate, Lateral Root Primordium Zone, maize Two-condition experiment, low phosphate treated lateral root primordium zone of maize root vs. normal cultrued lateral root primordium zone. Biological replicates: 9 control, 9 treated, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
