The plant root cap, surrounding the very tip of growing root, perceives and transmits environmental signals to inner tissues. In Arabidopsis thaliana, auxin released by cap contributes regular spacing lateral organs along primary axis. Here, we show that periodicity organ induction is driven recurrent programmed cell death at most distal edge cap. We suggest synchronous bursts in cells release pulses tissues, establishing pattern for formation. dynamics turnover may therefore coordinate...

Abstract Over-application of nitrogen fertilizer in fields has had a negative impact on both environment and human health. Domesticated rice varieties with high use efficiency (NUE) reduce for sustainable agriculture. Here, we perform genome-wide association analysis diverse population displaying extreme nitrogen-related phenotypes over three successive years the field, identify an elite haplotype nitrate transporter OsNPF6.1 HapB that enhances uptake confers NUE by increasing yield under...

Salinity stress progressively reduces plant growth and productivity, while has developed complex signaling pathways to confront salt stress. However, only a few genetic variants have been identified mediate tolerance in the major crop rice, molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we identify ten candidate genes associated with salt-tolerance (ST) traits by performing genome-wide association analysis rice landraces. We characterize two ST-related genes, encoding transcriptional...

Plant root systems are critical for absorbing water and nutrients anchoring plants in the soil, their development is regulated by phytohormones complex signaling pathways. Recent studies have identified small peptides as essential players governing development, binding to specific receptors on cell membrane, triggering processes. In this study, we summarize recent advances peptide regulation of system architecture tissue organization, well molecular interaction between canonical hormone...

Plants are capable of altering root growth direction to curtail exposure a saline environment (termed halotropism). The cap that surrounds tip meristematic stem cells plays crucial roles in perceiving and responding environmental stimuli. However, how the mediates halotropism remains undetermined. Here, we identified cap-localized NAC transcription factor, SOMBRERO (SMB), is required for halotropism. Its effect on attributable establishment asymmetric auxin distribution lateral (LRC) rather...

Indole acetic acid (IAA) is an important regulator of adventitious rooting via the activation complex signaling cascades. In animals, carbon monoxide (CO), mainly generated by heme oxygenases (HOs), a significant modulator inflammatory reactions, affecting cell proliferation and production growth factors. this report, we show that treatment with auxin transport inhibitor naphthylphthalamic prevented auxin-mediated induction also decreased activity HO its by-product CO content. The...

Remodeling of auxin distribution during the integration plant growth responses with environment requires precise control influx and efflux transporters. The plasma membrane-localized PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins facilitate from cells, their activity is regulated by reversible phosphorylation. How PIN modulates cellular to external stresses whether its coordinated phospholipids remain unclear. Here, we reveal that, in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), phosphatidic acid (PA)-regulated PINOID...

Increased use of nitrogen fertilizers has deleterious impact on the environment. Increase in yield potential at low supply is regarded as a cereal breeding goal for future agricultural sustainability. Although natural variations transporters have been investigated, key genes associated with assimilation remain largely unexplored efficiency (NUE) enhancement. Here, we identified NIN-like protein NLP4 NUE through GWAS rice. We found that OsNLP4 transactivated OsNiR encoding nitrite reductase...

Trichoderma spp. have evolved the capacity to communicate with plants by producing various secondary metabolites (SMs). Nonhormonal SMs play important roles in plant root development, while specific from rhizosphere microbes and their underlying mechanisms control branching are still largely unknown. In this study, a compound, anthranilic acid (2-AA), is identified T. guizhouense NJAU4742 promote lateral development. Further studies demonstrate that 2-AA positively regulates auxin signaling...

Abstract Excessive nitrogen promotes the formation of nonproductive tillers in rice, which decreases use efficiency (NUE). Developing high-NUE rice cultivars through balancing uptake and productive remains a long-standing challenge, yet how these two processes are coordinated elusive. Here we identify transcription factor OsGATA8 as key coordinator tiller rice. negatively regulates by repressing ammonium transporter gene OsAMT3.2 . Meanwhile, it OsTCP19 , negative modulator tillering. We -H...
