Function study of EXO70H7 and EXO70H8 genes in Arabidopsis thaliana development.
 Modráčková, Jana ; Kubátová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Soukup, Aleš (referee)
Complex Exocyst consists of eight proteins and it is known as a Sec6/8. Its composition is evolutionarily highly conserved amongst all the species. This complex is involved in vesicle trafficking as a part of attaching mechanism to a specific place on the plasma membrane. EXO70 subunit has been found in 23 copies in Arabidopsis thaliana genome. In this study we have been examine paraloges EXO70H7 and EXO70H8. There have been suggestions that these genes are important in development of roots according to the previous studies. We have not been able to identify any significant phenotype within the mutant plants in these genes. There has been studied other mutant appearance during the stress experiments. Most of these experiments did not identify any divergence. Only experiments with germination during stress conditions revealed significantly worse germination of exo70H7 mutant seeds on the medium containing sorbitol. This suggests that mutant seeds have a worse protection against osmotic stress. Significantly worse germination of exo70H8 seeds on the medium with excess NaCl indicates that these seeds incriminate to higher absorption of sodium ions. Analysis of the cell localization of GFP constructs brought knowledge of appearance EXO70H7 and EXO70H8 proteins. EXO70H7 locates in the cytoplasm and in...

FUNCTIONAL ANAYSIS OF SELECTED EXO70 EXOCYST SUBUNITS IN PLANTS
 Kubátová, Zdeňka ; Kulich, Ivan (advisor) ; Grossmann, Guido (referee) ; Lichtscheidl-Schultz, Irene (referee)
Arabidopsis thaliana trichomes are large unicellular epidermal outgrowths with a specific development and intriguing shape, which makes them an excellent cell type for our research of cell polarization mecha- nisms. Cell polarity is essential for plant development and the exocyst complex is one of its key regulators. It is an octameric protein complex that mediates polarized exocytosis and growth by targeted tethering of secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane. Its EXO70 subunit functions as a landmark for exocytosis site and physically binds the target membrane through interaction with phospholipids. A remarkable multipli- cation of EXO70 subunit paralogs in land plant genomes is well documented, but the functional diversity of these paralogs remains to be described. In trichomes we revealed the specific role of the EXO70H4 paralog in secondary cell wall deposi- tion, especially in callose synthase delivery. We documented formation of a thick secondary cell wall during the maturation phase of wild type trichome development and a lack of it in the exo70H4 mutant. Moreover, we showed evidence for silica deposition dependency on callose synthesis. Further, we unveiled the formation of apical and basal plasma membrane domains, which differ in their phospholipid compo- sition and ability to bind...
