Organizational Principles

The actin and microtubule (MT) cytoskeletons are vital structures for cell growth and development across all species. While individual molecular mechanisms underpinning actin and MT dynamics have been intensively studied, principles that govern the cytoskeleton organization remain largely unexplored. Here, we captured biologically relevant characteristics of the plant cytoskeleton through a network-driven imaging-based approach allowing us to quantitatively assess dynamic features of the cytoskeleton. By introducing suitable null models, we demonstrate that the plant cytoskeletal networks exhibit properties required for efficient transport, namely, short average path lengths and high robustness. We further show that these advantageous features are maintained during temporal cytoskeletal rearrangements. Interestingly, man-made transportation networks exhibit similar properties, suggesting general laws of network organization supporting diverse transport processes. The proposed network-driven analysis can be readily used to identify organizational principles of cytoskeletons in other organisms.

Plant Cytoskeleton

In addition to passive (or constitutive) defence mechanisms, plants have evolved a range of active (or inducible) responses that occur rapidly on infection with an incompatible (avirulent) pathogen and that are thought to play a major role in the expression of resistance. These defence reactions are only induced if the plant possesses the ability to recognize and respond to the pathogen. Signal reception by the host must initiate a cascade of events that lead to the expression of resistance. Some resistance responses, such as callose deposition, do not require the expression of new genes. Many responses, for example the synthesis and secretion of toxic compounds or molecules that enhance the strength of physical barriers, result from changes in the pattern of gene transcription. Other defence phenomena include hypersensitive cell collapse, intercellular signalling, and the induction of defence gene transcripts in surrounding cells. Changes in cell biochemistry and physiology are accompanied by characteristic structural modifications in the infected cells, such as the redeployment of selected organelles and dramatic modifications of the host cell wall. Recent evidence indicates that microtubules and microfilaments of the plant cytoskeleton facilitate the rapid localization of these and other plant defence responses to the region of infection. Key words: plant resistance, plant cytoskeleton, microtubules, microfilaments, fungal pathogens, polarity of defence response.

Plant Cytoskeleton

Microcystins (MCs) are cyanobacterial toxins and potent inhibitors of protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A), which are involved in plant cytoskeleton (microtubules and F-actin) organization. Therefore, studies on the toxicity of cyanobacterial products on plant cells have so far being focused on MCs. In this study, we investigated the effects of extracts from 16 (4 MC-producing and 12 non-MC-producing) cyanobacterial strains from several habitats, on various enzymes (PP1, trypsin, elastase), on the plant cytoskeleton and H2O2 levels in Oryza sativa (rice) root cells. Seedling roots were treated for various time periods (1, 12 and 24h) with aqueous cyanobacterial extracts and underwent either immunostaining for α-tubulin or staining of F-actin with fluorescent phalloidin. DCF-DA staining was performed for H2O2 imaging. The enzyme assays confirmed the bioactivity of the extracts of not only MC-rich (MC+), but also MC-devoid (MC-) extracts, which induced major time-dependent alterations on both components of the plant cytoskeleton. These findings suggest that a broad spectrum of bioactive cyanobacterial compounds, apart from MCs or other known cyanotoxins (such as cylindrospermopsin), can affect plants by disrupting the cytoskeleton.
