Trichome cell morphogenesis in Arabidopsis: a continuum of cellular decisions1
In keeping with the myriad functions carried out by plants, their component cells display an amazing diversity of shapes and sizes. How is a precise cell form achieved? In recent years, the single-celled, branched, aerial epidermal trichome of Arabidopsis thaliana L. (Heynh) has emerged as a model cell for understanding the cell biological and molecular basis underlying the development of cell ...
متن کاملArabidopsis NAP1 Is Essential for Arp2/3-Dependent Trichome Morphogenesis
The dynamic nature of the eukaryotic actin cytoskeleton is essential for the locomotion of animal cells and the morphogenesis of plant and fungal cells. The F-actin nucleating/branching activity of the Arp2/3 complex is a key function for all of these processes. The SCAR/WAVE family represents a group of Arp2/3 activators that are associated with lamellipodia formation. A protein complex of PIR...
متن کاملThe Role of Actin during Arabidopsis Trichome Morphogenesis
Arabidopsis trichome (leaf hair) development is being used as a genetic system to study actin-dependent growth. Arabidopsis trichomes are unicellular structures that are derived from the epidermis. Trichome development has been established as a powerful model system to study the control of cell fate and pattern formation. Results from several recent papers suggest that a genetic analysis of tri...
متن کاملTrichome-Related Mutants Provide a New Perspective on Multicellular Trichome Initiation and Development in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L)
Trichomes are specialized epidermal cells located in aerial parts of plants that function in plant defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. The simple unicellular trichomes of Arabidopsis serve as an excellent model to study the molecular mechanism of cell differentiation and pattern formation in plants. Loss-of-function mutations in Arabidopsis thaliana have suggested that the core genes G...
متن کاملEssential role of a kinesin-like protein in Arabidopsis trichome morphogenesis.
Little is known about how cell shape is controlled. We are using the morphogenesis of trichomes (plant hairs) on the plant Arabidopsis thaliana as a model to study how cell shape is controlled. Wild-type Arabidopsis trichomes are large, single epidermal cells with a stalk and three or four branches, whereas in zwichel (zwi) mutants the trichomes have a shortened stalk and only two branches. To ...
