text: Asymmetric auxin distribution is instrumental for the differential growth
that causes organ bending on tropic stimuli and curvatures during plant development.
Local differences in auxin concentrations are achieved mainly by polarized cellular
distribution of PIN auxin transporters, but whether other mechanisms involving
auxin homeostasis are also relevant for the formation of auxin gradients is not
clear. Here we show that auxin methylation is required for asymmetric auxin distribution
across the hypocotyl, particularly during its response to gravity. We found that
loss-of-function mutants in Arabidopsis IAA CARBOXYL METHYLTRANSFERASE1 (IAMT1)
prematurely unfold the apical hook, and that their hypocotyls are impaired in
gravitropic reorientation. This defect is linked to an auxin-dependent increase
in PIN gene expression, leading to an increased polar auxin transport and lack
of asymmetric distribution of PIN3 in the iamt1 mutant. Gravitropic reorientation
in the iamt1 mutant could be restored with either endodermis-specific expression
of IAMT1 or partial inhibition of polar auxin transport, which also results in
normal PIN gene expression levels. We propose that IAA methylation is necessary
in gravity-sensing cells to restrict polar auxin transport within the range of
auxin levels that allow for differential responses.

text: 'Plants adjust their growth according to gravity. Gravitropism involves gravity
perception, signal transduction, and asymmetric growth response, with organ bending
as a consequence [1]. Asymmetric growth results from the asymmetric distribution
of the plant-specific signaling molecule auxin [2] that is generated by lateral
transport, mediated in the hypocotyl predominantly by the auxin transporter PIN-FORMED3
(PIN3) [3–5]. Gravity stimulation polarizes PIN3 to the bottom sides of endodermal
cells, correlating with increased auxin accumulation in adjacent tissues at the
lower side of the stimulated organ, where auxin induces cell elongation and, hence,
organ bending. A curvature response allows the hypocotyl to resume straight growth
at a defined angle [6], implying that at some point auxin symmetry is restored
to prevent overbending. Here, we present initial insights into cellular and molecular
mechanisms that lead to the termination of the tropic response. We identified
an auxin feedback on PIN3 polarization as underlying mechanism that restores symmetry
of the PIN3-dependent auxin flow. Thus, two mechanistically distinct PIN3 polarization
events redirect auxin fluxes at different time points of the gravity response:
first, gravity-mediated redirection of PIN3-mediated auxin flow toward the lower
hypocotyl side, where auxin gradually accumulates and promotes growth, and later
PIN3 polarization to the opposite cell side, depleting this auxin maximum to end
the bending. Accordingly, genetic or pharmacological interference with the late
PIN3 polarization prevents termination of the response and leads to hypocotyl
overbending. This observation reveals a role of auxin feedback on PIN polarity
in the termination of the tropic response. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd'
