Xylem and Transpiration-driven Transport of Resources

24.2K
The xylem of vascular plants distributes water and dissolved minerals that are taken up by the roots to the rest of the plant. The cells that transport xylem sap are dead upon maturity, and the movement of xylem sap is a passive process.

Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation

5.4K
The development of all multicellular organisms starts with the fusion of haploid cells called sperm and egg to form a diploid zygote. A zygote is a totipotent cell that can develop into a complete organism. The zygote undergoes cell division or cleavage to form an 8-cell mass. Until this stage, the cells are spherical, loosely attached, and remain totipotent. Totipotent cells are capable of developing both the embryonic and the extraembryonic tissues. However, as they continue to divide, they...

Area of Science:

  • Plant biology
  • Evolutionary developmental biology
  • Transcriptomics

Background:

  • Xylem is crucial for plant lateral growth, comprising ray and fusiform cells.
  • Fusiform cells differentiate into vessel elements and libriform fibers in angiosperms, or function as tracheids in gymnosperms.
  • Developmental programs and evolutionary relationships of xylem cell types are poorly understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the developmental lineages of ray and fusiform cells in stem-differentiating xylem.
  • To analyze these lineages across four divergent woody angiosperms.
  • To understand the evolutionary conservation and variation of xylem cell development.

Main Methods:

  • Single-cell transcriptomic profiling
  • Laser capture microdissection transcriptomic profiling
  • Cross-species comparative analyses of transcriptomic data

Main Results:

  • Ray cell lineages are highly conserved across angiosperms.
  • Fusiform cell lineages show significant variation across angiosperms.
  • Basal angiosperms and core eudicots exhibit distinct fusiform lineages.
  • Tracheids in a basal eudicot show transcriptomic similarity to vessel elements.

Conclusions:

  • An evo-devo framework for xylem cell lineage formation is established.
  • This framework spans over 100 million years of plant evolutionary history.
  • The study provides a comprehensive understanding of xylem cell development and evolution.
