背景:
- 根毛は栄養素の吸収に不可欠ですが,水の獲得におけるその役割は議論されています.
- 根毛の発達を理解することは,特に干ばつ下での作物の回復力を向上させるための鍵です.
- トウモロコシRTH3の同型であるHvRTH3は,大麦 (Hordeum vulgare L.) の根毛形成に関与しています.
研究 の 目的:
- 大麦の根毛発達の遺伝的基礎を調査する.
- 根毛の現象型に影響を与える新しい大麦変異体の特徴を特定する.

主な方法:
- TILLING (ゲノム内の誘発局部病変を標的とする) 解析は,HVRTH3遺伝子の変異を特定するために使用されました.
- 根毛の発達が変化した大麦変異種 (hvrth3.h) の特徴.
- 干ばつストレスを含む温室およびフィールド条件下での根の特徴と収穫量のフェノタイプ分析.
主要な成果:
- トリコブラストの数が少ないため,根毛が稀に配置されている新しい大麦変異体 (hvrth3.h) が特定されました.
- HvRTH3 の突然変異は,早すぎる STOP コドンを引き起こし,タンパク質を切り離しました.
- hvrth3.h変異体は,根の特徴と収穫量の低下を示したが,深刻な干ばつ下では大きな欠陥を示さなかった.

02:04Regulation of Transpiration by Stomata
31.5K
During photosynthesis, plants acquire the necessary carbon dioxide and release the produced oxygen back into the atmosphere. Openings in the epidermis of plant leaves is the site of this exchange of gasses. A single opening is called a stoma—derived from the Greek word for “mouth.” Stomata open and close in response to a variety of environmental cues.

01:57Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss
28.3K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Plant cells communicate to coordinate their cycle of growth, flowering and fruiting, and activities in roots, shoots, and leaves in response to the changing environmental conditions. Plant signaling is distinct from animal signaling. Plants primarily utilize enzyme-linked receptors, whereas the largest class of cell-surface receptors in animals are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Unlike animals, receptor tyrosine kinases are rare in plants. Instead, plants have a diverse class of...

Specialized tissues in plant roots have evolved to capture water, minerals, and some ions from the soil. Roots exhibit a variety of branching patterns that facilitate this process. The outermost root cells have specialized structures called root hairs that increase the root surface, thus increasing soil contact. Water can passively cross into roots, as the concentration of water in the soil is higher than that of the root tissue. Minerals, in contrast, are actively transported into root cells.
