The plant hormone auxin controls many aspects of development and acts in part by inducing expression of various genes. Arabidopsis thaliana semidominant shy2 (short hypocotyl) mutations cause leaf formation in dark-grown plants, suggesting that SHY2 has an important role in regulating development. Here we show that the SHY2 gene encodes IAA3, a previously known member of the Aux/IAA family of auxin-induced genes. Dominant shy2 mutations cause amino acid changes in domain II, conserved among all members of this family. We isolated loss-of-function shy2 alleles including a putative null mutation. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function shy2 mutations affect auxin-dependent root growth, lateral root formation, and timing of gravitropism, indicating that SHY2/IAA3 regulates multiple auxin responses in roots. The phenotypes suggest that SHY2/IAA3 may activate some auxin responses and repress others. Models invoking tissue-specificity, feedback regulation, or control of auxin transport may explain these results.

The influence of sublethal levels of a number of herbicides and plant growth regulators on the germinability of the seeds and the growth and development of seedlings of mouseearcress [Arabidopsis thaliana(L.) Heynh. ♯ ARBTH] was determined. Only 7 of the 22 chemicals tested had a persistent effect on progeny. Amitrole (3-amino-s-triazole) was one of the most effective compounds. It caused a characteristic bleaching only in shoot tips and pods in parent plants and appeared to act directly on the progeny by accumulation in the seed. Two auxin transport inhibitors, TIBA (2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid) and CPII (5-O-carboxyphenyl-3-phenylisoxazole), and four of the six photosynthetic electron transport inhibitors included in the study also affected progeny. They appeared to act indirectly by interfering with seed development.

ABSTRACTPhosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] is a low abundant lipid present at the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. Extensive studies in animal cells revealed the pleiotropic functions of PI(4,5)P2. In plant cells, PI(4,5)P2 is involved in various cellular processes including the regulation of cell polarity and tip growth, clathrin-mediated endocytosis, polar auxin transport, actin dynamics or membrane-contact sites. To date, most studies investigating the role of PI(4,5)P2 in plants have relied on mutants lacking enzymes responsible for PI(4,5)P2 synthesis and degradation. However, such genetic perturbations only allow steady-state analysis of plants undergoing their life cycle in PI(4,5)P2 deficient conditions and the corresponding mutants are likely to induce a range of non-causal (untargeted) effects driven by compensatory mechanisms. In addition, there are no small molecule inhibitors that are available in plants to specifically block the production of this lipid. Thus, there is currently no system to fine tune PI(4,5)P2 content in plant cells. Here we report a genetically encoded and inducible synthetic system, iDePP (Inducible Depletion of PI(4,5)P2 in Plants), that efficiently removes PI(4,5)P2 from the plasma membrane in different organs of Arabidopsis thaliana, including root meristem, root hair and shoot apical meristem. We show that iDePP allows the inducible depletion of PI(4,5)P2 in less than three hours. Using this strategy, we reveal that PI(4,5)P2 is critical for cortical microtubule organization. Together, we propose that iDePP is a simple and efficient genetic tool to test the importance of PI(4,5)P2 in given cellular or developmental responses but also to evaluate the importance of this lipid in protein localization.Research OrganismA. thaliana

Phytohormone auxin is the main regulator of plant growth and development. Nonuniform auxin distribution in plant tissue sets positional information, which determines morphogenesis. Auxin is transported in tissue by means of diffusion and active transport through the cell membrane. There is a number of auxin carriers performing its influx into a cell (AUX\LAX family) or efflux from a cell (PIN, PGP families). The paper presents mathematical models for auxin transport in vascular tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana L.root tip, namely protophloem and protoxylem. Tissue specificity of auxin active transport was considered in these models. There is PIN-mediated auxin efflux in both protoxylem and protophloem, but AUX1-mediated influx exists only in protophloem. Optimal values of parameters were adjusted for model solutions to fit the experimentally observed auxin distributions in the root tip. Based on simulation results we predicted that shoot-derived auxin flow to protophloem is lower than one to protoxylem, and the efficiency of PIN-mediated auxin transport in protophloem is higher than in protoxylem. In summary, our simulation showed that despite the same auxin distribution pattern, provascular tissues in the root tip differ in dynamics of auxin transport.
