| Abstract | Auxin redistribution along gravistimulated maize coleoptiles causes differential expression of the auxin-induced K+-channel gene ZMK1 (Zea mays K+ channel 1) and precedes the curvature response. To evaluate the role of ZMK1 during phototropism, we here investigated blue light-stimulated coleoptiles. Four hours of blue light stimulation resulted in phototropic bending (23 degrees ). Rotation on a clinostat, at nominally 'zero' gravity, and simultaneous stimulation with unidirectional blue light, however, resulted in up to 51 degrees bending toward the light. Differential ZMK1 transcription reached a maximum after 90 min of blue light stimulation under gravity, whereas ZMK1 expression remained asymmetric for at least 180 min in photostimulated coleoptiles on a clinostat. We therefore conclude that the stronger phototropic bending under nominally 'zero' gravity results from prolonged differential expression of ZMK1. Under both conditions, asymmetric expression of ZMK1 could be superimposed on the lateral auxin gradient across the coleoptile tip, whereas the gene for the blue light receptor phototropin 1 (PHOT1), expressed in the tip only, was not differentially regulated in response to blue light. The activation of the two different receptors eliciting the photo- and gravitropic response of the coleoptile thus feeds into a common signaling pathway, resulting in auxin redistribution in the coleoptile tip and finally in differential transcription of ZMK1. In the process of signal integration, gravity transduction restricts the magnitude of the blue light-inducible ZMK1 gradient. The spatial and temporal distribution of ZMK1 transcripts and thus differential K+ uptake in both flanks of the coleoptile seem to limit the stimulus-induced bending of this sensory organ. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
