Nishimura T, Mori S, Shikata H, Nakamura M, Hashiguchi Y, Abe Y, et al.
Science
. 2023 Aug;
381(6661):1006-1010.
PMID: 37561884
Organisms have evolved under gravitational force, and many sense the direction of gravity by means of statoliths in specialized cells. In flowering plants, starch-accumulating plastids, known as amyloplasts, act as...

Plant Biotechnol (Tokyo)
. 2021 Apr;
37(4):443-450.
PMID: 33850432
Plant shoots can bend upward against gravity, a behavior known as shoot gravitropism. The conventional quantification of shoot bending has been restricted to measurements of shoot tip angle, which cannot...

Plants (Basel)
. 2020 May;
9(5).
PMID: 32408582
Plant posture is controlled by various environmental cues, such as light, temperature, and gravity. The overall architecture is determined by the growth angles of lateral organs, such as roots and...

Polar recruitment of RLD by LAZY1-like protein during gravity signaling in root branch angle control
Furutani M, Hirano Y, Nishimura T, Nakamura M, Taniguchi M, Suzuki K, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2020 Jan;
11(1):76.
PMID: 31900388
In many plant species, roots maintain specific growth angles relative to the direction of gravity, known as gravitropic set point angles (GSAs). These contribute to the efficient acquisition of water...

Nakamura M, Nishimura T, Morita M
Curr Opin Plant Biol
. 2019 Aug;
52:54-60.
PMID: 31446250
Gravitropism is the directional control of plant organ growth in response to gravity. Specialized gravity-sensing cells contain amyloplasts that can change their position according to the direction of gravity. Gravity...

J Exp Bot
. 2019 Apr;
70(14):3495-3506.
PMID: 30976802
Plant organs control their growth orientation in response to gravity. Within gravity-sensing cells, the input (gravity sensing) and signal conversion (gravity signalling) progress sequentially. The cells contain a number of...

Nakamura M, Claes A, Grebe T, Hermkes R, Viotti C, Ikeda Y, et al.
Plant Physiol
. 2017 Nov;
176(1):378-391.
PMID: 29084900
Polar nuclear migration is crucial during the development of diverse eukaryotes. In plants, root hair growth requires polar nuclear migration into the outgrowing hair. However, knowledge about the dynamics and...

Nakamura M, Grebe M
Curr Opin Plant Biol
. 2017 Sep;
41:46-53.
PMID: 28869926
Plant roots control uptake of water and nutrients and cope with environmental challenges. The root epidermis provides the first selective interface for nutrient absorption, while the endodermis produces the main...

Taniguchi M, Furutani M, Nishimura T, Nakamura M, Fushita T, Iijima K, et al.
Plant Cell
. 2017 Aug;
29(8):1984-1999.
PMID: 28765510
During gravitropism, the directional signal of gravity is perceived by gravity-sensing cells called statocytes, leading to asymmetric distribution of auxin in the responding organs. To identify the genes involved in...

Plant Physiol
. 2016 Nov;
172(4):2245-2260.
PMID: 27803190
The outermost cell layer of plants, the epidermis, and its outer (lateral) membrane domain facing the environment are continuously challenged by biotic and abiotic stresses. Therefore, the epidermis and the...
