Quantifying cell division and expansion is of crucial importance to the understanding of whole-plant growth. Here, we present a protocol to calculate cellular parameters determining maize leaf growth rates and highlight the use of these data for investigating molecular growth regulatory mechanisms by directing developmental stage-specific sampling strategies.
Growth analyses are often used in plant science to investigate contrasting genotypes and the effect of environmental conditions. The cellular aspect of these analyses is of crucial importance, because growth is driven by cell division and cell elongation. Kinematic analysis represents a methodology to quantify these two processes. Moreover, this technique is easy to use in non-specialized laboratories. Here, we present a protocol for performing a kinematic analysis in monocotyledonous maize (Zea mays) leaves. Two aspects are presented: (1) the quantification of cell division and expansion parameters, and (2) the determination of the location of the developmental zones. This could serve as a basis for sampling design and/or could be useful for data interpretation of biochemical and molecular measurements with high spatial resolution in the leaf growth zone. The growth zone of maize leaves is harvested during steady-state growth. Individual leaves are used for meristem length determination using a DAPI stain and cell-length profiles using DIC microscopy. The protocol is suited for emerged monocotyledonous leaves harvested during steady-state growth, with growth zones spanning at least several centimeters. To improve the understanding of plant growth regulation, data on growth and molecular studies must be combined. Therefore, an important advantage of kinematic analysis is the possibility to correlate changes at the molecular level to well-defined stages of cellular development. Furthermore, it allows for a more focused sampling of specified developmental stages, which is useful in case of limited budget or time.
生长分析依赖于一组工具通常使用由植物科学家描述基因型确定生长的差异和/或表型响应于环境因素。它们包括全厂的大小和重量测量或器官和增长率的计算来探讨经济增长的内在机制。器官发育是细胞分裂和扩大在细胞水平确定。因此,包括在生长分析这两个过程的量化的关键是理解在整个器官1生长的差异。因此,关键是要具有适当的方法来确定细胞生长参数是相对容易由非专业的实验室使用。
运动学分析已经被确立为一种方法提供的器官发育模型2发展的一个强大的框架。这项技术对线性系统进行了优化,如拟南芥根和单子叶叶子,也为非线性的系统中,例如双子叶叶片3。如今,这种方法被越来越多地用于研究如何遗传,激素,发育和环境因素影响细胞的分裂和各种器官的扩展( 表1)。此外,它也提供了一个框架,以细胞过程链接到他们的潜在生化,分子和生理规章( 表2),尽管限制可以通过器官大小和空间组织为需要更高量的植物材料的技术( 例如,代谢物施加测量,蛋白质组学, 等等 )。
单子叶叶子,如玉米( 玉蜀黍 )叶,表示其中的细胞从朝向尖叶的基部移动线性系统,通过分生组织和伸长区顺序地传递到到达成熟区。这使得它的增长4的空间格局定量研究的理想模式系统。此外,玉米叶有较大的增长区域(分生组织和伸长区跨越几厘米5),并在其他组织层次的研究提供了可能性。这允许(假定)的监管机制控制细胞分裂和扩大,通过一系列的分子生物学技术,生理测量和细胞生物学的方法( 见表2)通过运动学分析定量调查。
在这里,我们提供了在单子叶树叶进行运动分析的协议。首先,我们将解释如何进行这两种细胞分裂和细胞伸长的正确分析,沿叶轴位置以及如何计算运动学参数的函数。其次,我们还显示如何可以用作用于取样设计的基础。在这里,我们讨论了两种情况:高分辨率的采样ð集中采样,从而提高了数据的解释和时间/钱储蓄,分别为。
