Plant hormone transporters: what we know and what we would like to know

Park, Jiyoung ; Lee, Youngsook ; Martinoia, Enrico ; Geisler, Markus

In: BMC Biology, 2017, vol. 15, p. 93

Hormone transporters are crucial for plant hormone action, which is underlined by severe developmental and physiological impacts caused by their loss-of-function mutations. Here, we summarize recent knowledge on the individual roles of plant hormone transporters in local and long-distance transport. Our inventory reveals that many hormones are transported by members of distinct transporter...

Insight into the evolution of the Solanaceae from the parental genomes of Petunia hybrida

Bombarely, Aureliano ; Moser, Michel ; Amrad, Avichai ; Bao, Manzhu ; Bapaume, Laure ; Barry, Cornelius S. ; Bliek, Mattijs ; Boersma, Maaike R. ; Borghi, Lorenzo ; Bruggmann, Rémy ; Bucher, Marcel ; DAgostino, Nunzio ; Davies, Kevin ; Druege, Uwe ; Dudareva, Natalia ; Egea-Cortines, Marcos ; Delledonne, Massimo ; Fernandez-Pozo, Noe ; Franken, Philipp ; Grandont, Laurie ; Heslop-Harrison, J.

Petunia hybrida is a popular bedding plant that has a long history as a genetic model system. We report the whole-genome sequencing and assembly of inbred derivatives of its two wild parents, P. axillaris N and P. inflata S6. The assemblies include 91.3% and 90.2% coverage of their diploid genomes (1.4 Gb; 2n = 14) containing 32,928 and 36,697 protein-coding genes, respectively. The...

Wounding of Arabidopsis halleri leaves enhances cadmium accumulation that acts as a defense against herbivory

Plaza, Sonia ; Weber, Johann ; Pajonk, Simone ; Thomas, Jérôme ; Talke, Ina N. ; Schellenberg, Maja ; Pradervand, Sylvain ; Burla, Bo ; Geisler, Markus ; Martinoia, Enrico ; Krämer, Ute

In: BioMetals, 2015, vol. 28, no. 3, p. 521–528

Approximately 0.2 % of all angiosperms are classified as metal hyperaccumulators based on their extraordinarily high leaf metal contents, for example >1 % zinc, >0.1 % nickel or >0.01 % cadmium (Cd) in dry biomass. So far, metal hyperaccumulation has been considered to be a taxon-wide, constitutively expressed trait, the extent of which depends solely on available metal concentrations in the...

A petunia ABC protein controls strigolactone-dependent symbiotic signalling and branching

Kretzschmar, Tobias ; Kohlen, Wouter ; Sasse, Joelle ; Borghi, Lorenzo ; Schlegel, Markus ; Bachelier, Julien B. ; Reinhardt, Didier ; Bours, Ralph ; Bouwmeester, Harro J. ; Martinoia, Enrico

In: Nature, 2012, p. -

Strigolactones were originally identified as stimulators of the germination of root-parasitic weeds that pose a serious threat to resource-limited agriculture. They are mostly exuded from roots and function as signalling compounds in the initiation of arbuscular mycorrhizae, which are plant–fungus symbionts with a global effect on carbon and phosphate cycling. Recently, strigolactones were...

Phosphate systemically inhibits development of arbuscular mycorrhiza in Petunia hybrida and represses genes involved in mycorrhizal functioning

Breuillin, Florence ; Schramm, Jonathan ; Hajirezaei, Mohammad ; Ahkami, Amir ; Favre, Patrick ; Druege, Uwe ; Hause, Bettina ; Bucher, Marcel ; Kretzschmar, Tobias ; Bossolini, Eligio ; Kuhlemeier, Cris ; Martinoia, Enrico ; Franken, Philipp ; Scholz, Uwe ; Reinhardt, Didier

In: The Plant Journal, 2010, p. -

Most terrestrial plants form arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), mutualistic associations with soil fungi of the order Glomeromycota. The obligate biotrophic fungi trade mineral nutrients, mainly phosphate (Pi), for carbohydrates from the plants. Under conditions of high exogenous phosphate supply, when the plant can meet its own P requirements without the fungus, AM are suppressed,...

AtOSA1 a member of Abc1-like family as a new factor in cadmium and oxidative stress response

Jasinski, Michal ; Sudre, Damien ; Schansker, Gert ; Schellenberg, Maya ; Constant, Signarbieux ; Martinoia, Enrico ; Bovet, Lucien

In: Plant Physiology, 2008, vol. 147, p. pp.107.110247

The analysis of gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana using cDNA-microarrays and RT-PCR showed that AtOSA1 (Arabidopsis thaliana Oxidative Stress related Abc1 like protein) transcript levels are influenced by Cd²⁺ treatment. The comparison of protein sequences revealed that AtOSA1 belongs to the family of Abc1 proteins. Up to now, Abc1-like proteins have been identified in...
