| Abstract | Thersw1 mutant ofArabidopsis thaliana has a single amino acid substitution in a putative glycosyl transferase that causes a temperature-dependent reduction in cellulose production. We used recently described methods to examine root growth by surface marker particles, cell wall structure by field emission scanning electron microscopy and microtubule alignment by immunofluorescence after the mutant is transferred to its restrictive temperature. We find that raising the temperature quickly accelerates root elongation in both wild type and mutant, presumably as a result of general metabolic stimulation, but that in the mutant, the rate declines within 7–8 h and elongation almost ceases after 24 h. Radial swelling begins at about 6 h in the mutant and root diameter continues to increase until about 24 h. The normal transverse alignment of microfibrils is severely impaired in the mutant after 8 h, and chemical inhibition of cellulose synthesis by 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile causes a similar loss of orientation. After 24 h, microfibrils are not clearly visible in the walls of cells that would have been in the mitotic and early-elongation zone of wild-type roots. Changes in older cells are less marked; loss of transverse microfibril orientation occurs without disruption to the transverse orientation of cortical microtubules. The wild type shows none of the changes except for acceleration of elongation, which in its case is sustained. We conclude that microfibril alignment requires the normal functioning of RSW1 and that, in view of the effects of dichlorobenzonitrile, there may be a more general linkage between the rate of cellulose production and its proper alignment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
