Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are recognized as important regulators of cell division and differentiation. The Arabidopsis thaliana P-loop NTPase encoded by APP1 affects root stem niche identity through its control local ROS homeostasis. disruption is accompanied a reduction in level, rise the rate quiescent center (QC) promotion distal (DSC) Both higher level induced app1 mutant exposure to methyl viologen (MV), treatment with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) rescued phenotype, implying that both...
In plants, the generation of new cell types and tissues depends on coordinated oriented formative divisions. The plasma membrane-localized receptor kinase ARABIDOPSIS CRINKLY 4 (ACR4) is part a mechanism controlling divisions in Arabidopsis root. Despite its important role plant development, very little known about molecular with which ACR4 affiliated network interactions. Here, we used various complementary proteomic approaches to identify ACR4-interacting protein candidates that are likely...
Narciclasine (NCS) is an Amaryllidaceae alkaloid isolated from Narcissus tazetta bulbs. NCS has inhibitory effects on a broad range of biological activities and thus various potential practical applications. Here we examine how represses plant root growth. Results showed that the inhibition cell division in Arabidopsis tips its differentiation are concentration-dependent; at low concentrations (0.5 1.0 μM) preferentially targets mitotic cycle specific/cyclin complexes, whereas high...
An increasing number of reports question conclusions based on loss-of-function lines that have unexpected genetic backgrounds. In this opinion paper, we urge researchers to meticulously (re)investigate phenotypes retrieved from various backgrounds and be critical regarding some previously drawn conclusions. As an example, provide new evidence acr4-2 mutant with respect columella stem cells are due the lack ACR4 not – at least as a major contributor mutation in QRT1. addition, take...
