      Promoters of the Barley Germin-Like GER4 Gene Cluster Enable Strong Transgene Expression in Response to Pathogen Attack
      Axel Himmelbach, Luo Liu, Uwe Zierold, Lothar Altschmied, Helmut Maucher, Franziska Beier, Doreen Müller, Götz Hensel, Andreas Heise, Andres Schützendübel, Jochen Kumlehn, Patrick Schweizer
      Plant Cell Mar 2010, 22 (3) 937-952; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.109.067934

      The GER4 transcript encoding a germin-like protein of barley is derived from a dense cluster of tandemly duplicated, pathogen-induced genes that are subject to purifying selection. The GER4c promoter was found to regulate strong and pathogen-specific expression of the GUS reporter in barley, and multiple redundant WRKY factor binding sites were required for promoter activation.

      Innate Immune Responses Activated in Arabidopsis Roots by Microbe-Associated Molecular Patterns
      Yves A. Millet, Cristian H. Danna, Nicole K. Clay, Wisuwat Songnuan, Matthew D. Simon, Danièle Werck-Reichhart, Frederick M. Ausubel
      Plant Cell Mar 2010, 22 (3) 973-990; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.109.069658

      This study describes Arabidopsis root innate immune responses to various microbial elicitors and their salicylic acid signaling-independent suppression by coronatine, a phytotoxin produced by Pseudomonas syringae. These experiments have revealed new features of the root response to pathogen attack and the mechanisms that pathogens in turn may employ to block the host innate immune response.

      The NADH dehydrogenase complex (complex I) represents the largest functional module of the respiratory chain and at the same time is the least known. Based on a novel biochemical strategy, a model on its internal structure is presented. In plants, complex I comprises several extra protein subunits that partially integrate side activities into the complex and contribute to its special shape.

      Plant Cell Mar 2010, 22 (3) 594-605; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.109.072892

      PSEUDORESPONSE REGULATOR9 (PRR9), PRR7, and PRR5 regulate the Arabidopsis circadian clock. PRR9, PRR7, and PRR5 proteins associate with CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED1 and LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL promoters in a sequential manner to repress their expression. A conserved region common to the three PRR proteins is sufficient for repressor activity.

      High-Affinity Manganese Uptake by the Metal Transporter NRAMP1 Is Essential for Arabidopsis Growth in Low Manganese Conditions
      Rémy Cailliatte, Adam Schikora, Jean-François Briat, Stéphane Mari, Catherine Curie
      Plant Cell Mar 2010, 22 (3) 904-917; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.109.073023

      This study shows that, in order to acquire manganese when concentrations in the soil are limited, Arabidopsis relies on a root high-affinity manganese uptake system catalyzed by the metal transporter NRAMP1. The finding that overexpression of NRAMP1 produces large plants with increased manganese content paves the way for the biotechnological engineering of plants with improved biomass production.

This work finds that expression patterns of many reproduction genes, including an overabundance of regulatory factors, differ during sexual and asexual ovule development, thus providing a possible mechanism for inducing the complex reproductive changes required to generate clonal offspring.

      ANKYRIN REPEAT-CONTAINING PROTEIN 2A Is an Essential Molecular Chaperone for Peroxisomal Membrane-Bound ASCORBATE PEROXIDASE3 in Arabidopsis
      Guoxin Shen, Sundaram Kuppu, Sujatha Venkataramani, Jing Wang, Juqiang Yan, Xiaoyun Qiu, Hong Zhang
      Plant Cell Mar 2010, 22 (3) 811-831; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.109.065979

      ANKYRIN REPEAT-CONTAINING PROTEIN 2A (AKR2A) is known to be involved in targeting proteins to the chloroplast outer envelope membrane. This work provides evidence that AKR2A binds specifically to several single-membrane spanning proteins that are targeted to various cellular compartments, suggesting that AKR2A may serve as a molecular chaperone for a set of membrane proteins.

      Spatial Configuration of Transposable Element Ac Termini Affects Their Ability to Induce Chromosomal Breakage in Maize
      Chuanhe Yu, Jianbo Zhang, Vinay Pulletikurti, David F. Weber, Thomas Peterson
      Plant Cell Mar 2010, 22 (3) 744-754; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.109.070052

      Chromosome breakage was the first property of transposable elements identified by McClintock. Evidence is presented to show that chromosome breakage can be attributed to alternative transposition reactions that involve the termini of multiple closely linked elements.

      Innate Immune Responses Activated in Arabidopsis Roots by Microbe-Associated Molecular Patterns
      Yves A. Millet, Cristian H. Danna, Nicole K. Clay, Wisuwat Songnuan, Matthew D. Simon, Danièle Werck-Reichhart, Frederick M. Ausubel
      Plant Cell Mar 2010, 22 (3) 973-990; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.109.069658

      This study describes Arabidopsis root innate immune responses to various microbial elicitors and their salicylic acid signaling-independent suppression by coronatine, a phytotoxin produced by Pseudomonas syringae. These experiments have revealed new features of the root response to pathogen attack and the mechanisms that pathogens in turn may employ to block the host innate immune response.

      A Conserved Mechanism of Bract Suppression in the Grass Family
      Clinton J. Whipple, Darren H. Hall, Stacy DeBlasio, Fumio Taguchi-Shiobara, Robert J. Schmidt, David P. Jackson
      Plant Cell Mar 2010, 22 (3) 565-578; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.109.073536

      Bract suppression in maize, rice, and barley is regulated by a conserved genetic mechanism. Interestingly, the orthologous gene in Arabidopsis has no role in bract suppression, suggesting distinct bract suppression mechanisms have evolved in these two lineages.

      Plant Cell Mar 2010, 22 (3) 640-654; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.109.072272

      This work demonstrates that three closely related Arabidopsis transcription factors are involved in activating the specific modifications to cell walls that are required for a fully functional root cap. These transcription factors share a generic transcriptional activity with other closely related proteins, which are involved in different aspects of cell wall modification.

      Plant Cell Mar 2010, 22 (3) 716-728; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.109.068296

      This work examines the function of MGOUN1 (MGO1) in Arabidopsis stem cell maintenance, showing that mgo1 mutations enhance the specific stem cell defects in hypomorphic wuschel alleles. Positional cloning reveals that MGO1 encodes topoisomerase IB, thereby linking topoisomerase function to the propagation of developmentally regulated gene function.

      Plant Cell Mar 2010, 22 (3) 672-689; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.109.073668

      The authors identified a rice R2R3 MYB transcription factor, Carbon Starved Anther (CSA), that regulates sugar partitioning from leaves to anthers and is required for the production of functional pollen. CSA directly regulates the expression of the monosaccharide transporter gene MST8, which encodes a key component of the anther sugar unloading pathway.

      The GER4 transcript encoding a germin-like protein of barley is derived from a dense cluster of tandemly duplicated, pathogen-induced genes that are subject to purifying selection. The GER4c promoter was found to regulate strong and pathogen-specific expression of the GUS reporter in barley, and multiple redundant WRKY factor binding sites were required for promoter activation.
