Update on Symbiosis

Symbiosis, Inventiveness by Recruitment?1

LEGUMES, A UNIQUE FLOWERING PLANT FAMILY

With one notable exception, namely the genus Parasponia in the elm family, the ability to form nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with gram-negative soil bacteria known as rhizobia is restricted to the legume family, Leguminosae. It has been well established that initiation of successful nodular symbiosis requires strict compatibility between rhizobial-secreted Nod factors and...

Cell biology of plant and fungal tip growth--getting to the point
Plant Cell ; Tip growth is a process that has many similarities in diverse walled cells such as pollen tubes, root hairs, and hyphae. However, due to the diversity of the experimental systems, it is unusual for those working on the phenomenon to have the opportunity to get together and compare systems and
TRH1 encodes a potassium transporter required for tip growth in Arabidopsis root hairs
Plant Cell ; Root hair initiation involves the formation of a bulge at the basal end of the trichoblast by localized diffuse growth. Tip growth occurs subsequently at this initiation site and is accompanied by the establishment of a polarized cytoplasmic organization. Arabidopsis plants homozygous for a

Control of pollen tube tip growth by a rop GTPPase-dependent pathway that leads to tip-localized calcium influx
Plant Cell ; We have shown that Rop1At, a pollen-specific Rop GTPase that is a member of the Rho family of small GTP binding proteins, acts as a key molecular switch controlling tip growth in Arabidopsis pollen tubes. Pollen-specific expression of constitutively active rop1at mutants induced isotropic growth of

The Arabidopsis Rop2 GTPase is a positive regulator of both root hair initiation and tip growth
Plant Cell ; Root hairs provide a model system for the study of cell polarity. We examined the possibility that one or more members of the distinct plant subfamily of RHO monomeric GTPases, termed Rop, may function as molecular switches regulating root hair growth. Specific Rops are known to control polar

Actin-Related Protein2/3 Complex Component ARPC1 Is Required for Proper Cell Morphogenesis and Polarized Cell Growth in Physcomitrella patens(W)
Plant Cell ; The actin-related protein2/3 (Arp2/3) complex functions as a regulator of actin filament dynamics in a wide array of eukaryotic cells. Here, we focus on the role of the Arp2/3 complex subunit ARPC1 in elongating tip cells of protonemal filaments of the moss Physcomitrella patens. Using RNA
