The root epidermis of Arabidopsis thaliana is composed of alternating files of root hair and non-hair cells and represents a model system for studying the control of cell-fate acquisition. Epidermal cell fate is regulated by a network of genes that translate positional information from the underlying cortical cell layer into a specific pattern of differentiated cells. While much is known about the genes of this network, new players continue to be discovered. Here we show that the SABRE (SAB) gene, known to mediate microtubule organization, anisotropic cell growth and planar polarity, has an effect on root epidermal hair cell patterning. Loss of SAB function results in ectopic root hair formation and destabilizes the expression of cell fate and differentiation markers in the root epidermis, including expression of the WEREWOLF (WER) and GLABRA2 (GL2) genes. Double mutant analysis reveal that wer and caprice (cpc) mutants, defective in core components of the epidermal patterning pathway, genetically interact with sab. This suggests that SAB may act on epidermal patterning upstream of WER and CPC. Hence, we provide evidence for a role of SAB in root epidermal patterning by affecting cell-fate stabilization. Our work opens the door for future studies addressing SAB-dependent functions of the cytoskeleton during root epidermal patterning.}, language = {en} } @article{KieferClaesNzayisengaetal.2015, author = {Kiefer, Christian S. and Claes, Andrea R. and Nzayisenga, Jean-Claude and Pietra, Stefano and Stanislas, Thomas and Ikeda, Yoshihisa and Grebe, Markus}, title = {Arabidopsis AIP1-2 restricted by WER-mediated patterning modulates planar polarity}, series = {Development}, journal = {Development}, number = {142}, doi = {doi: 10.1242/dev.111013}, pages = {151 -- 161}, year = {2015}, abstract = {The coordination of cell polarity within the plane of the tissue layer (planar polarity) is crucial for the development of diverse multicellular organisms. Small Rac/Rho-family GTPases and the actin cytoskeleton contribute to planar polarity formation at sites of polarity establishment in animals and plants. Yet, upstream pathways coordinating planar polarity differ strikingly between kingdoms. In the root of Arabidopsis thaliana, a concentration gradient of the phytohormone auxin coordinates polar recruitment of Rho-of-plant (ROP) to sites of polar epidermal hair initiation. However, little is known about cytoskeletal components and interactions that contribute to this planar polarity or about their relation to the patterning machinery. Here, we show that ACTIN7 (ACT7) represents a main actin isoform required for planar polarity of root hair positioning, interacting with the negative modulator ACTIN-INTERACTING PROTEIN1-2 (AIP1-2). ACT7, AIP1-2 and their genetic interaction are required for coordinated planar polarity of ROP downstream of ethylene signalling. Strikingly, AIP1-2 displays hair cell file-enriched expression, restricted by WEREWOLF (WER)-dependent patterning and modified by ethylene and auxin action. Hence, our findings reveal AIP1-2, expressed under control of the WER-dependent patterning machinery and the ethylene signalling pathway, as a modulator of actin-mediated planar polarity.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Pinchasik2015, author = {Pinchasik, Bat-El Shani}, title = {Manipulaton of Microbubbles Inspired by Bubble Use in Nature}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {123}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Prill2015, author = {Prill, Sebastian}, title = {Real-Time in vitro toxicity monotoring in a microfluidic bioreactor for drug and chemical safety assessment}, pages = {119}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Kocyan2014, author = {Kocyan, Alexander}, title = {Evolution within the speciose plant group of asparagales}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Pagel2014, author = {Pagel, J{\"o}rn}, title = {Statistical process-based models for the understanding and prediction of range dynamics}, pages = {VII, 147}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Sprenger2014, author = {Sprenger, Heike}, title = {Characterization of drought tolerance in potato cultivars for identification of molecular markers}, pages = {146}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Omidbakhshfard2014, author = {Omidbakhshfard, Mohammad Amin}, title = {Functional analysis of the role of GRF9 in leaf development and establishment of Formaldehyde-Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements (FAIRE) in Arabidopsis thaliana}, pages = {XI, 162}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Omranian2014, author = {Omranian, Nooshin}, title = {Inferring gene regulatory networks and cellular phases from time-resolved transcriptomics data}, pages = {vii, 96}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Heise2014, author = {Heise, Robert}, title = {Estimation of photosynthetic carbon fluxes in intact plants}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {178}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Liu2015, author = {Liu, Zengyu}, title = {Going off the rails?
