At least 20 type of ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR)-like channels have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. Most of them express in root tissues, however, the functions are little known. Previous studies showed that clade III GLR (GLR3.2/GLR3.4) and GLR3.6 are involved in root growth in Arabidopsis. Arabidopsis thaliana will be used as our model system. The T-DNA insertion mutants and overexpression lines of GLR3.6 will be isolated and generated. These will be subjected to phenotyping for root development. We will try to identify the phosphorylation sites of GLR3.6. Overexpression lines of GLR3.6 phosphorylation site point-mutated lines will be generated followed by phenotyping for root development. The calcium signaling will be investigated using calcium imaging tools and channel blockers. To determine how auxin involves in the GLR-mediated regulation of root development, DR5 promoterdriven β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter will be utilized to monitor the auxin amount in the mutant lines. Downstream target genes (i.e. cell cycle gene KRP4) and proteins will be identified. In particular, calcium-binding protein will be our top focus. Once the target genes and proteins are identified, we will further try to elucidate the role of GLR3.6 phosphorylation in regulating root development. In the future, we hope to apply to crops to improve crop (i.e. rice) yield.麩氨酸受體生長素根鈣離子磷酸化Glutamate receptorauxinrootcalciumphosphorylation.阿拉伯芥第三類麩氨酸受體3.6磷酸化與根生長發育之功能性研究
