Here, we report that multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) can promote plant root hair growth in the species analyzed in this study; however, low and excessive concentrations of MWCNTs had no significant effect or even an inhibiting influence. Further results show that MWCNTs can enter rapeseed root cells. Meanwhile, nitrate reductase (NR)-dependent nitric oxide (NO) and ethylene syntheses, as well as root hair formation, were significantly stimulated by MWCNTs. Transcription of root hair growth-related genes were also modulated. The above responses were sensitive to the removal of endogenous NO or ethylene with a scavenger of NO or NO/ethylene synthesis inhibitors. Pharmacological and molecular evidence suggested that ethylene might act downstream of NR-dependent NO in MWCNTs-induced root hair morphogenesis. Genetic evidence in Arabidopsis further revealed that MWCNTs-triggered root hair growth was abolished in ethylene-insensitive mutants ein2-5 and ein3-1, and NR mutant nia1/2, but not in noa1 mutant. Further data placed NO synthesis linearly before ethylene production in root hair development triggered by MWCNTs. The above findings thus provide some insights into the molecular mechanism underlying MWCNTs control of root hair morphogenesis.
