Post-Germination: Rapid growth 2h20min 2h 40 min Growth in this bean plant is due in part to cell division, but, to a larger extent, to longitudinal elongation of cells – all controlled by genes.

Apical organization Organization in plants is dependent upon programmed, controlled cell division, followed by growth, further cell division and ultimately, differentiation. Programmed and controlled cell division occurs within the domain of the vegetative apex.

the apex All the tissues within the apex differentiate rapidly. By about 150 µm, cells within the apical region are starting to differentiate. In the pine apex (above), you can see developing leaflets. The Coleus apex to the right, shows rapidly developing leaflets beneath the apical dome.

cell division Cell division is responsible for the formation of all cells and tissues in the primary plant body as well as in the secondary plant body. Cell source

cambial division xylem Cell division within the ray and fusiform initials results in the formation of derivative cells that are placed either on the outside of the mother cell, in which case they add to the secondary phloem, or on the inside endarch to) the mother cell, thus adding to the secondary xylem radial initial axial

Cell source The apical meristem is the principle source of new cells in the primary as well as within the secondary plant body. All cell division linked to vegetative growth, involves mitosis, and, as a result, the cells that are produced are exact copies of each other. Lineage depends on the position of the initial within the meristem.

the periderm a protective barrier During secondary growth, the diameter of stems and roots increases rapidly, which results in tension and splitting of the existing dermal tissues, which subsequently, will stretch and become disrupted. The generative layer of the first periderm (phellogen) is initiated within parenchymatous elements in the outer cortex of stems and roots. It offers protection from invasion by insects, pathogens and fungi. As the stem or root continues to increase in diameter, so successive periderms are formed. These are formed within the secondary phloem. The periderm is a natural waterproof, fireproof insulator.

Filling spaces Within all plants the primary packaging tissues are composed of cells that either fill in spaces, or support other areas of the stem, root or leaf. Thus, the parenchymatic elements that are produced (and have lineage back to the apical meristems) are produced from what is termed the ground meristem. In simple terms, the ground meristem is that region of a shoot or root apical meristem that is NOT involved in the production of vascular tissue.

cambial derivatives The vascular cambium is the source of all needed (secondary) differentiation in plants. It contains two systems, the secondary xylem, and the secondary phloem tissue. Each of these tissues is complex, and is developed and has evolved for specific functions – the xylem for the transport of water and water soluble molecules, the phloem for the transport of assimilated, and the, which consist of sugars and related carbohydrates translocated in water. Physiologically, the transport xylem is dead at maturity, has secondarily-lignified cell walls, and functions under extreme negative pressure potentials. Transport phloem on the other hand, contains a majority of living cells, with specialized sieve elements, which are geared for rapid, long-distance translocation of the assimilated carbohydrate pool. These transport elements, have thickened walls, are living at maturity and function under a high positive pressure potential. click here for the next page

transport functionality The xylem and phloem conduits form axial tubes. These tubes facilitate rapid, long-distance movement of water and dissolved materials. It follows therefore that the fascicular cambial derivatives that form these transport cells are longer than they are wide, and that the cells will, depending on position form either xylem or phloem. click here for cambial derivatives click the need for lateral communication back

the need for lateral communication As the secondary plant body enlarges, so the carbohydrate conducting, and water transporting systems become laterally spatially and physiologically further removed from each other. The core of a stem or root, for example, may well contain a number of living cells, that not only require water and a supply of assimilate and other carbohydrates, in order to maintain their functional state. If this does not happen or if the supply is cut off for some reason, then the core will die. Lateral communication, and the production of these cells in the lateral communication pathway, is due to the activity of specialised cambial cells, called the ray cells. These cells are sort, often cubic in shape and the produce rows (files) of parenchymatous living cells, that interconnect the phloem with the inner xylem core, thereby facilitating exchange of carbohydrate inwards, and water outwards in the living plant.

Regulation of SAM & RAM some examples recap Cytokinins (CKs), naturally occurring plant hormones that promote cell division, are essential for normal plant growth and development [1,2]. TOPLESS gene appears to be involved in establishing apical/basal polarity in the embryo3 PINHEAD regulates SHOOTMERISTEMLESS. PINHEAD gene possibly plays a role in promoting the translation of genes such as the SHOOTMERISTEMLESS gene that are required for meristem maintenance3. ARGONAUTE genes - involved in RNA interference (RNAi) which is an evolutionarily conserved process through which double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces the silencing of cognate genes 1 D.W. Mok and M.C.

zipping organ formation Arabidopsis class III homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip III) proteins play overlapping, distinct, and antagonistic roles in key aspects of development that have evolved during land plant evolution. zipping organ formation Plant signals Figure 1   Model of how CLASS III HD-ZIP1 and KANADI activities pattern lateral organs and vasculature. A centrally derived signal (red) activates CLASS III HD-ZIP genes, whose activity is antagonistic with that of KANADI activity. Both KANADI and MIR165/166 negatively regulate CLASS III HD-ZIP genes, (relationship between the two is not presently known). In lateral organs, CLASS III HD-ZIP activity promotes adaxial fates and KANADI activity promotes abaxial fates. In the vascular bundles, interactions between the two gene classes pattern the arrangement of xylem and phloem tissues. The vascular bundle shown is already differentiated, but the initial patterning events likely occur just below the apical meristem where provascular cells are being specified. –––––––––––––––-– 1Class III homeodomain-leucine zipper proteins See http://www.nature.com/nrm/journal/v5/n5/full/nrm1364.html

Gene control - a list of some important role players 1. Details are in the attached notes (below) Formation of the meristem & separation of the cotyledons: CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON 1 (CUC1) and CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON 2. (CUC2) as well as SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) Regulated cell division: TEBICHI (TEB) gene, regulates and involved in differentiation in meristems. Conversely, teb mutants show morphological defects Control of cell division and endodermis formation: SHORT-ROOT (SHR) and SCARECROW (SCR) are involved in control this asymmetric cell division and the differentiation of endodermal cells Organization of division of initials (called stem cells (ugh!)) Fate of initials [stem] and associated CLAVATA3 (CLV3) gene expression maintained by the underlying organizing center (initials) expressing the WUSCHEL (WUS) gene. Conversely, CLV3 restricts the size of the organizing center by repressing the expression of WUS, and clv3 mutants show expansion of the SAM and the WUS-expressing region 1. Shoot apical meristems (SAM) and cotyledons of higher plants are initiated (produced) during embryogenesis. CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON 1 (CUC1) and CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON 2. (CUC2) as well as SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) of Arabidopsis are needed for the formation of the shoot apical meristem as well as for the separation of the cotyledon. Reference: Aida, M., Ishida, T., and Tasaka,M. (1999), Shoot apical meristem and cotyledon formation during Arabidopsis embryogenesis: interaction among the CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON and SHOOT MERISTEMLESS genes, [Online], Available:http://dev.biologists.org/cgi/content/abstract/126/8/1563. [03/04/208]. 2. Continuous organogenesis occurs using cells derived from the meristem. In Arabidopsis, the TEBICHI (TEB) gene, is required for regulated cell division and differentiation in meristems. The teb mutants show morphological defects, such as short roots, serrated leaves, and fasciation, as well as defective patterns of cell division and differentiation in the meristem. The TEB gene is thus involved in cell line expression –encodes a In the root apical meristem (RAM), quiescent center (QC) cells are surrounded by the initial cells for each cell lineage, and daughter cells generated from endodermis/cortex initial cells divide periclinally to form the endodermis and cortex cells. SHORT-ROOT (SHR) and SCARECROW (SCR) are involved in control this asymmetric cell division and the differentiation of endodermal cells (Scheres et al., 1995; Di Laurenzio et al., 1996; Helariutta et al., 2000). The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is organized into the central zone, which consists of lower organizing center cells and upper meristematic [stem] cells, and the peripheral zone, in which organ primordia develop. The fate of initials [stem] and associated CLAVATA3 (CLV3) gene expression is maintained by the underlying organizing center cells (initials) expressing the WUSCHEL (WUS) gene (Laux et al., 1996; Mayer et al., 1998; Schoof et al., 2000). Conversely, CLV3 restricts the size of the organizing center by repressing the expression of WUS, and clv3 mutants show expansion of the SAM and the WUS-expressing region (Clark et al., 1995; Schoof et al., 2000). Several genes regulating SAM size, organization, and [stem] cell identity have been identified in Arabidopsis. Loss-of-function mutations of ULTRAPETALA1, (which encodes a putative transcriptional regulatory protein) result in enlargement of the SAM and expansion of the WUS expression domain, indicating that the ULTRAPETALA1 protein is a negative regulator of division in the initials [stem cell] and their accumulation and this affects the size of the SAM (Fletcher, 2001; Carles et al., 2005). Class III homeodomain–leucine zipper transcription factors, such as CORONA, PHABULOSA, PHAVOLUTA, and REVOLUTA, also regulate the population size of the initials [stem cell population] and size of the SAM (Zhong and Ye, 2004; Green et al., 2005; Prigge et al., 2005; Williams et al., 2005). T mutants, mgoun1 (mgo1) and mgo2 result in perturbed organ primordia formation and enlargement and disorganization of the SAM Thus MGO genes may control the step of cell fate determination required for the recruitment of cells from the peripheral zone to the organ primordia and that this results in smooth initiation and formation of organs from the meristem periphery is also required for the normal organization and size of the meristem itself (Laufs et al., 1998). Regulatory factors are important in the maintenance of the organization and size of the SAM. Mutants in which these factors are impaired are characterized by defects in the structure of both the SAM and the RAM. Examples: The fasciata1 (fas1) and fas2 mutants of Arabidopsis show stem fasciation, abnormal phyllotaxy, and short roots (Leyser and Furner, 1992) resulting from a defect in meristem organization, and fas mutants do not express WUS in the SAM and SCR in the RAM (Kaya et al., 2001). FAS1 and FAS2 genes encode two subunits of the Arabidopsis Chromatin Assembly Factor-1 (CAF-1) thought to be involved in chromatin assembly during DNA replication and repair. The FAS complex may control the state of gene expression by regulating the structure of chromatin (Kaya et al., 2001). The TONSOKU (TSK)/MGO3 gene is also important for the maintenance of meristem structure, and a loss-of-function mutation in this gene disrupts the control of cell division and cellular arrangement in the SAM and the RAM (Guyomarc'h et al., 2004; Suzuki et al., 2004). The tsk/mgo3 mutant shows altered expression of WUS in the SAM and SCR in the RAM as well as developmental phenotypes similar to those of the fas mutants, including short roots, abnormal phyllotaxy, and stem fasciation. Regulation of SAM/RAM size: Loss-of-function mutations of ULTRAPETALA1, (encodes a transcriptional regulatory protein) results in enlargement of the SAM and expansion of the WUS expression domain; ULTRAPETALA1 protein is a negative regulator of division in the initials

Gene control - a list of some important role players 2. SAM initials – population size regulation: CORONA, PHABULOSA, PHAVOLUTA, and REVOLUTA, (Class III homeodomain–leucine zipper transcription factors) regulate the population size of the initials and size of the SAM. The mutants, mgoun1 (mgo1) and mgo2 result in perturbed organ primordia formation and enlargement and disorganization of the SAM fasciata1 (fas1) and fas2 mutants show stem fasciation, abnormal phyllotaxy, and short roots. fas mutants do not express WUS in the SAM and SCR in the RAM. FAS complex may control the state of gene expression by regulating the structure of chromatin Loss of function control: TONSOKU (TSK)/MGO3 involved in the maintenance of meristem structure, and a loss-of-function mutation in this gene disrupts the control of cell division and cellular arrangement in the SAM and the RAM. tsk/mgo3 mutant shows altered expression of WUS in the SAM and SCR in the RAM as well as expression of developmental phenotypes similar to those of the fas mutants (including short roots, abnormal phyllotaxy, and stem fasciation). From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia Fasciation is a condition of plant growth in which the apical meristem, normally concentrated around a single point, producing approximately cylindrical tissue, becomes elongated perpendicularly to the direction of growth, producing flattened, ribbon-like, crested, or elaborately contorted tissue. The phenomenon may occur in the stem, root, fruit, or flower head. Fasciation (also: cresting) can be caused by a mutation in the meristematic cells, bacterial infection, mite or insect attack, or chemical or mechanical damage. Some plants may inherit the trait.
