The Distal Part of the Transition Zone Is the Most Aluminum-Sensitive Apical Root Zone of Maize

TL;DR: The distal part of the transition zone of the root apex, where the cells are undergoing a preparatory phase for rapid elongation, is the primary target of Al in this Al-sensitive maize cultivar.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aluminum-induced 1→3-β-D-glucan inhibits cell-to-cell trafficking of molecules through plasmodesmata. A new mechanism of aluminum toxicity in plants

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that extracellular Al-induced callose deposition at PD could effectively block symplastic transport and communication in higher plants and suggest that Al-signal mediated localized alterations to calcium homeostasis may drive callose formation and PD closure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aluminum-Induced Gene Expression and Protein Localization of a Cell Wall-Associated Receptor Kinase in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: Al-induced organ-specific expression of a WAK1 (cell wall-associated receptor kinase 1) gene and cell type-specific localization of WAK proteins in Arabidopsis are reported and transgenic plants overexpressing Wak1 showed an enhanced Al tolerance in terms of root growth when compared with the wild-type plants, making the WAK 1 one of the important candidates for plant defense against Al toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impacts of aluminum on the cytoskeleton of the maize root apex. short-term effects on the distal part of the transition zone

TL;DR: The data show that the cytoskeleton in the cells of the DTZ is especially sensitive to Al, consistent with the recently proposed specific Al sensitivity of this unique, apical maize root zone.
