Abstract
In the root, meristem and elongation zone lengths remain stable, despite growth and division of cells. To gain insight into zone stability, we imaged individual Arabidopsis thaliana roots through a horizontal microscope, and used image analysis to obtain velocity profiles. For a root, velocity profiles obtained every 5 min over 3 h coincided closely, implying that zonation is regulated tightly. However, the position of the elongation zone saltated, by on average 17 ?m every 5 min. Saltation was apparently driven by material elements growing faster and then slower, while moving through the growth zone. When the shoot was excised, after about 90 minutes, growth zone dynamics resembled those of intact roots, except that the position of the elongation zone moved, on average, rootward, by several hundred microns in 24 h. We hypothesize that mechanisms determining elongation zone position receive input from the shoot.
