Control of root cap maturation and cell detachment by BEARSKIN transcription factors in Arabidopsis

Abstract: The root cap supports root growth by protecting the root meristem, sensing gravity and interacting with the rhizosphere through metabolite secretion and cell dispersal. Sustained root cap functions therefore rely on balanced proliferation of proximal stem cells and regulated detachment of distal mature cells. Although the gene regulatory network that governs stem cell activity in the root cap has been extensively studied in Arabidopsis, the mechanisms by which root cap cells mature and detach from the root tip… Show more

“…The BEARSKINs regulate maturation of the root cap with a related transcription factor SOMBRERO (Bennett et al , ). The expression pattern of BEARSKINs in Arabidopsis roots is similar to that of HORVU2Hr1G077320 in barley radicles (Kamiya et al , ). These are localized to the outermost root cap cell layers in Arabidopsis, where they regulate expression of genes involved in cell wall modification, cell separation, and root cap detachment.…”

“…These are localized to the outermost root cap cell layers in Arabidopsis, where they regulate expression of genes involved in cell wall modification, cell separation, and root cap detachment. These processes may mediate plant–rhizosphere interactions (Kamiya et al , ). The concordance with RNA in situ hybridization demonstrates the specificity of our LCM RNA‐seq analyses.…”

“…In many plants, the cells of the peripheral part of the root cap are exfoliated and turn into the border cells that perform protective functions. Thus, the functions of the root cap are provided by a balanced proliferation of proximal meristematic cells and a regulated detachment of distal mature cells (Kamiya et al, 2016).…”

“…Additionally, two types of proteins found in Q. grandiflora roots, the alpha-galactosidases, and polygalacturonases may regulate development by playing a role in cell wall loosening and, thereby, facilitating cell wall expansion [35, 36]. Besides, polygalacturonases play a crucial role in root cap development by degrading demethylated pectin allowing the natural sloughing off outer root cap cells [37]. Root caps are essential for root growth because they protect the root apical meristem as well as facilitates soil penetration and exploration.…”
