Abstract
The DNA damage response avoids mutations into dividing cells. Here, we analysed the role of photoreceptors on the restriction of root growth imposed by genotoxic agents and its relationship with cell viability and performance of meristems. Comparison of root growth of Arabidopsis WT, phyA-211, phyB-9, and phyA-211phyB-9 double mutants unveiled a critical role for phytochrome A (PhyA) in protecting roots from genotoxic stress, regeneration and cell replenishment in the meristematic zone. PhyA was located on primary root tips, where it influences genes related to the repair of DNA, including ERF115 and RAD51. Interestingly, phyA-211 mutants treated with zeocin failed to induce the expression of the repressor of cell cycle MYB3R3, which correlated with expression of the mitotic cyclin CycB1, suggesting that PhyA is required for safeguarding the DNA integrity during cell division. Moreover, the growth of the primary roots of PhyA downstream component HY5 and root growth analyses in darkness suggest that cell viability and DNA damage responses within root meristems may act independently from light and photomorphogenesis. These data support novel roles for PhyA as a key player for stem cell niche maintenance and DNA damage responses, which are critical for proper root growth.

Abstract
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) acts as a neurotransmitter in mammals and is widely distributed in the plant kingdom, where it influences root growth and defense. Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) and MAPK phosphatases (MKPs) play critical functions in decoding hormonal signalling, but their possible roles in mediating serotonin responses await investigation. In this report, we unveiled positive roles for the MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE PHOSPHATASE1 (MKP1) in the inhibition of the primary root growth, cell division, meristem structure, and differentiation events in Arabidopsis seedlings. mkp1 mutants were less sensitive to jasmonic acid applications that halted primary root growth in wild-type (WT) plants, and consistently, the neurotransmitter activated the expression of the JASMONATE ZIM-domain (JAZ) proteins JAZ1 and JAZ10, two critical proteins orchestrating jasmonic acid signalling. This effect correlated with exacerbated production of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the WT, a process constitutively manifested in mkp1 mutants. These data help to clarify the relationship between serotonin and growth/defense trade-offs, and reveal the importance of the MAPK pathway in root development through ROS production.

Abstract
Plants host a diverse microbiome and differentially react to the fungal species living as endophytes or around their roots through emission of volatiles. Here, using divided Petri plates for Arabidopsis-T. atroviride co-cultivation, we show that fungal volatiles increase endogenous sugar levels in shoots, roots and root exudates, which improve Arabidopsis root growth and branching and strengthen the symbiosis. Tissue-specific expression of three sucrose phosphate synthase-encoding genes (AtSPS1F, AtSPS2F and AtSPS3F), and AtSUC2 and SWEET transporters revealed that the gene expression signatures differ from those of the fungal pathogens Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata and that AtSUC2 is largely repressed either by increasing carbon availability or by perception of the fungal volatile 6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one. Our data point to Trichoderma volatiles as chemical signatures for sugar biosynthesis and exudation and unveil specific modulation of a critical, long-distance sucrose transporter in the plant.

Abstract
Intracellular lipid droplets (LD) provide the oil storage mechanism of plants. They are found within seeds as individual structures, even under conditions of cold stress and dehydration, due to the protein that covers them. This protein, called oleosin, is found exclusively in plants and has been widely studied in seeds. Avocado fruits (Persea americana Mill.) are rich in oil, which is stored in the mesocarp, not in the seeds. The presence of oleosin in the mesocarp tissue of avocadoes has been reported, but its physiological role is still unknown. In this study, we identify two genes that code for oleosin in the mesocarp of the native Mexican avocado. These sequences are very different from those of seed oleosins. Both genes are expressed during fruit ripening, while one, PaOle1, has the highest expression in the green fruit stage. The protein of PaOle1 is stable during the fruit ripening process and covers all the mesocarp LDs. The expression of PaOle1 gene and protein is organ specific to avocado mesocarp. Among avocadoes varieties oleosin abundance is directly related to oil content.

Abstract
ALTERED MERISTEM PROGRAM 1 (AMP1) encodes a putative glutamate-carboxypeptidase important for plant growth and development. In this study, by comparing the growth of Arabidopsis wild-type, amp1-10 and amp1-13 mutants, and AMP1-GFP/OX2- and AMP1-GFP/OX7-overexpressing seedlings in vitro and in soil, we uncover the role of AMP1 in biomass accumulation in Arabidopsis. AMP1-overexpressing plants had longer primary roots and increased lateral root number and density than the WT, which correlated with improved root, shoot, and total biomass accumulation. AMP1-overexpressing seedlings had an enhanced rate of growth of primary roots, and accordingly, sucrose supplementation restored primary root growth and promoted lateral root formation in amp1 mutants, while reproductive development, fruit size, and seed content were also modified according to disruption or overexpression of AMP1. We further found that AMP1 plays an important role for stomatal development, guard cell functioning, and carbon assimilation. These data help explain the pleiotropic functions of AMP1 in both root and shoot system development, possibly acting in a sugar-dependent manner for regulation of root architecture, biomass accumulation, and seed production.

Abstract
Chemical communication underlies major adaptive traits in plants and shapes the root microbiome. An increasing number of diffusible and/or volatile organic compounds released by bacteria have been identified, which play phytostimulant or protective functions, including dimethyl-hexa-decylamine (DMHDA), a volatile biosynthesized by Arthrobacter agilis UMCV2 that induces jasmonic acid (JA) signaling in Arabidopsis. Here, he found that the growth repressing effects of both DMHDA and JA are antagonized by kinetin and correlated with an inhibition of cytokinin-related ARR5::GUS and TCS::GFP expression in Arabidopsis primary roots. Moreover, we demonstrate that shoot supplementation of JA triggers JAZ1 expression both locally and systemically and represses cytokinin-dependent promoter activity in roots. A similar effect was observed after cotyledon wounding, in which an increase of JA-inducible LOX2:GUS expression represses root growth, which correlates with the loss of TCS::GFP detection at the very root tip. Our data demonstrate that the bacterial volatile DMHDA crosstalks with cytokinin signaling and reveals the downstream antagonistic interaction between JA and cytokinin in controlling root growth.

Abstract
Root system architecture is a major determinant of water and nutrient acquisition as well as stress tolerance in plants. The Mediator complex is a conserved multiprotein complex that acts as a universal adaptor between transcription factors and the RNA polymerase II. In this article, we characterize possible roles of the MEDIATOR8 (MED8) and MED25 subunits of the plant Mediator complex in the regulation of root system architecture in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). We found that loss-of-function mutations in PHYTOCHROME AND FLOWERING TIME1 (PFT1)/MED25 increase primary and lateral root growth as well as lateral and adventitious root formation. In contrast, PFT1/MED25 overexpression reduces these responses, suggesting that PFT1/MED25 is an important element of meristematic cell proliferation and cell size control in both lateral and primary roots. PFT1/MED25 negatively regulates auxin transport and response gene expression in most parts of the plant, as evidenced by increased and decreased expression of the auxin-related reporters PIN-FORMED1 (PIN1)::PIN1::GFP (for green fluorescent protein), DR5:GFP, DR5:uidA, and BA3:uidA in pft1-2 mutants and in 35S:PFT1 seedlings, respectively. No alterations in endogenous auxin levels could be found in pft1-2 mutants or in 35S:PFT1-overexpressing seedlings. However, detailed analyses of DR5:GFP and DR5:uidA activity in wild-type, pft1-2, and 35S:PFT1 seedlings in response to indole-3-acetic acid, naphthaleneacetic acid, and the polar auxin transport inhibitor 1-N-naphthylphthalamic acid indicated that PFT1/MED25 principally regulates auxin transport and response. These results provide compelling evidence for a new role for PFT1/MED25 as an important transcriptional regulator of root system architecture through auxin-related mechanisms in Arabidopsis.
