Abstract
Gravity-induced root curvature involves the asymmetric distribution of the phytohormone auxin. This response depends on the concerted activities of the auxin transporters such as PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins for auxin efflux and AUXIN RESISTANT 1 (AUX1) for auxin influx. However, how the auxin gradient is established remains elusive. Here we identified a new mutant with a short root, strong auxin distribution in the lateral root cap and an impaired gravitropic response. The causal gene encoded an Arabidopsis homolog of the human unconventional prefoldin RPB5 interactor (URI). AtURI interacted with prefoldin 2 (PFD2) and PFD6, two β-type PFD members that modulate actin and tubulin patterning in roots. The auxin reporter DR5rev :GFP showed that asymmetric auxin redistribution after gravistimulation is disordered in aturi-1 root tips. Treatment with the endomembrane protein trafficking inhibitor brefeldin A indicated that recycling of the auxin transporter PIN2 is disrupted in aturi-1 roots as well as in pfd mutants. We propose that AtURI cooperates with PFDs to recycle PIN2 and modulate auxin distribution.

[PMID: 33261554 PMCID: PMC7709433 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-020-07257-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2020] [Accepted: 11/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The root growth angle (RGA) typically determines plant rooting depth, which is significant for plant anchorage and abiotic stress tolerance. Several quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for RGA have been identified in crops. However, the underlying mechanisms of the RGA remain poorly understood, especially in apple rootstocks. The objective of this study was to identify QTLs, validate genetic variation networks, and develop molecular markers for the RGA in apple rootstock. Results Bulked segregant analysis by sequencing (BSA-seq) identified 25 QTLs for RGA using 1955 hybrids of the apple rootstock cultivars ‘Baleng Crab’ (Malus robusta Rehd., large RGA) and ‘M9’ (M. pumila Mill., small RGA). With RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and parental resequencing, six major functional genes were identified and constituted two genetic variation networks for the RGA. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the MdLAZY1 promoter damaged the binding sites of MdDREB2A and MdHSFB3, while one SNP of MdDREB2A and MdIAA1 affected the interactions of MdDREB2A/MdHSFB3 and MdIAA1/MdLAZY1, respectively. A SNP within the MdNPR5 promoter damaged the interaction between MdNPR5 and MdLBD41, while one SNP of MdLBD41 interrupted the MdLBD41/MdbHLH48 interaction that affected the binding ability of MdLBD41 on the MdNPR5 promoter. Twenty six SNP markers were designed on candidate genes in each QTL interval, and the marker effects varied from 0.22°-26.11°. Conclusions Six diagnostic markers, SNP592, G122, b13, Z312, S1272, and S1288, were used to identify two intricate genetic variation networks that control the RGA and may provide new insights into the accuracy of the molecular markers. The QTLs and SNP markers can potentially be used to select deep-rooted apple rootstocks.

Abstract
Nutrients are distributed unevenly in the soil. Phenotypic plasticity in root growth and proliferation may enable plants to cope with this variation and effectively forage for essential nutrients. However, how micronutrients shape root architecture of plants in their natural environments is poorly understood. We used a combination of field and laboratory-based assays to determine the capacity of Nicotiana attenuata to direct root growth towards localized nutrient patches in its native environment. Plants growing in nature displayed a particular root phenotype consisting of a single primary root and a few long, shallow lateral roots. Analysis of bulk soil surrounding the lateral roots revealed a strong positive correlation between lateral root placement and micronutrient gradients, including copper, iron and zinc. In laboratory assays, the application of localized micronutrient salts close to lateral root tips led to roots bending in the direction of copper and iron. This form of chemotropism was absent in ethylene and jasmonic acid deficient lines, suggesting that it is controlled in part by these two hormones. This work demonstrates that directed root growth underlies foraging behavior, and suggests that chemotropism and micronutrient-guided root placement are important factors that shape root architecture in nature.
