  • Descrição: A fundamental function of an organ is the ability to perceive mechanical cues. Yet, how this is accomplished is not fully understood, particularly in plant roots. In plants, the majority of studies dealing with the effects of mechanical stress have investigated the aerial parts. However, in natural conditions roots are also subjected to mechanical cues, for example when the root encounters a hard obstacle during its growth or when the soil settles. To investigate root cellular responses to root compression, we developed a microfluidic system associated with a microvalve allowing the delivery of controlled and reproducible mechanical stimulations to the root. In this study, examining plants expressing the R-GECO1-mTurquoise calcium reporter, we addressed the root cell deformation and calcium increase induced by the mechanical stimulation. Lateral pressure applied on the root induced a moderate elastic deformation of root cortical cells and elicited a multicomponent calcium signal at the onset of the pressure pulse, followed by a second one at the release of the pressure. This indicates that straining rather than stressing of tissues is relevant to trigger the calcium signal. Although the intensity of the calcium response increases with the pressure applied, successive pressure stimuli led to a remarkable attenuation of the calcium signal. The calcium elevation was restricted to the tissue under pressure and did not propagate. Strain sensing, spatial restriction and habituation to repetitive stimulation represent the fundamental properties of root signalling in response to local mechanical stimulation. These data linking mechanical properties of root cells to calcium elevation contribute to elucidating the pathway allowing the root to adapt to the mechanical cues generated by the soil.
