Abstract:
:Nodal roots (NRs) constitute the prevalent root system of adult maize plants. NRs emerge from stem nodes located below or above ground, and little is known about their inducing factors. Here, it is shown that precocious development of NRs at the coleoptilar node (NRCNs) occurred in maize seedlings when: (i) dark grown and stimulated by the concurrent action of a single light shock of low intensity white light (2 μmol m(-2) s(-1)) and a single heat shock; (ii) grown under a photoperiod of low intensity light (0.1 μmol m(-2) s(-1)); or (iii) grown in the dark under a thermoperiod (28 °C/34 °C). The light shock effects were synergistic with heat shock and with the photoperiod, whereas the thermoperiodical and photoperiodical effects were additive. Dissection of the primary root or the root cap, to mimic the fatal consequences of severe heat shock, caused negligible effects on NRCN formation, indicating that the shoot is directly involved in perception of the heat shock-inducible signal that triggered NRCN formation. A comparison between hsp101-m5::Mu1/hsp101-m5::Mu1 and Hsp101/Hsp101 seedlings indicated that the heat shock protein 101 (HSP101) chaperone inhibited NRCN formation in the light and in the dark. Stimulation of precocious NRCN formation by light and heat shocks was affected by genetic background and by the stage of seedling development. HSP101 protein levels increased in the coleoptilar node of induced wild-type plants, particularly in the procambial region, where NRCN formation originated. The adaptive relevance of development of NRCNs in response to these environmental cues and hypothetical mechanisms of regulation by HSP101 are discussed.
