Regulation of organ straightening and plant posture by an actin–myosin XI cytoskeleton

Abstract: Plants are able to bend nearly every organ in response to environmental stimuli such as gravity and light(1,2). After this first phase, the responses to stimuli are restrained by an independent mechanism, or even reversed, so that the organ will stop bending and attain its desired posture. This phenomenon of organ straightening has been called autotropism(3) and autostraightening(4) and modelled as proprioception(5). However, the machinery that drives organ straightening and where it occurs are mostly unknown.… Show more

“…These fiber cells contain long actin filament bundles and also show rapid movement of plastids. While the plastid movements are much slower in the myosin mutant (Okamoto et al, 2015), we do not know whether the organization of actin filaments also is affected. This latter point is of particular importance, since we know that myosins can affect actin organization (Peremyslov et al, 2010;Ueda et al, 2010;Madison et al, 2015) and since fiz1 mutants that are defective in ACTIN8 also show similar defects in straightening behavior (Okamoto et al, 2015).…”

More fundamentally, it is not clear at this time whether these two myosins function in sensing the growth curvature, possibly via the actin cytoskeleton, or whether the mutant phenotype results from a defect in the response pathway after detection of the growth curvature.…”

“…In this model, the myosin XI-MyoB compartments represent a specialized transport system that drives streaming, rather than directly engaging individual organelles and secretory vesicles, which in turn delivers organelles and other types of vesicles to their destinations throughout the cell (14). Furthermore, existing genetic evidence indicates that cytoplasmic streaming is required for both polarized and diffuse cell growth because: (i) inactivation of myosins alone results in reduced cell elongation and expansion and affects plant growth and morphogenesis (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20); (ii) simultaneous inactivation of myosins and MyoBs results in synergistic phenotypes (13,14); and (iii) reduction in streaming velocity reduces plant growth, whereas increased velocity boosts that growth (21).…”
