text: The plant hormone auxin plays indispensable roles in plant growth and development.
An essential level of regulation in auxin action is the directional auxin transport
within cells. The establishment of auxin gradient in plant tissue has been attributed
to local auxin biosynthesis and directional intercellular auxin transport, which
both are controlled by various environmental and developmental signals. It is
well established that asymmetric auxin distribution in cells is achieved by polarly
localized PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin efflux transporters. Despite the initial insights
into cellular mechanisms of PIN polarization obtained from the last decades, the
molecular mechanism and specific regulators mediating PIN polarization remains
elusive. In this thesis, we aim to find novel players in PIN subcellular polarity
regulation during Arabidopsis development. We first characterize the physiological
effect of piperonylic acid (PA) on Arabidopsis hypocotyl gravitropic bending and
PIN polarization. Secondly, we reveal the importance of SCFTIR1/AFB auxin signaling
pathway in shoot gravitropism bending termination. In addition, we also explore
the role of myosin XI complex, and actin cytoskeleton in auxin feedback regulation
on PIN polarity. In Chapter 1, we give an overview of the current knowledge about
PIN-mediated auxin fluxes in various plant tropic responses. In Chapter 2, we
study the physiological effect of PA on shoot gravitropic bending. Our results
show that PA treatment inhibits auxin-mediated PIN3 repolarization by interfering
with PINOID and PIN3 phosphorylation status, ultimately leading to hyperbending
hypocotyls. In Chapter 3, we provide evidence to show that the SCFTIR1/AFB nuclear
auxin signaling pathway is crucial and required for auxin-mediated PIN3 repolarization
and shoot gravitropic bending termination. In Chapter 4, we perform a phosphoproteomics
approach and identify the motor protein Myosin XI and its binding protein, the
MadB2 family, as an essential regulator of PIN polarity for auxin-canalization
related developmental processes. In Chapter 5, we demonstrate the vital role of
actin cytoskeleton in auxin feedback on PIN polarity by regulating PIN subcellular
trafficking. Overall, the data presented in this PhD thesis brings novel insights
into the PIN polar localization regulation that resulted in the (re)establishment
of the polar auxin flow and gradient in response to environmental stimuli during
plant development.
