Background and AimsAluminium (Al) toxicity and drought are two major limiting factors for common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) production on tropical acid soils. Polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000)-induced osmotic stress (OS) simulating drought stress reduces Al accumulation in the entire root tips of common bean by alteration of cell-wall (CW) porosity, which might be regulated by two genes encoding xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase,PvXTH9andPvXTHb. The aim of this research was to understand the spatial and temporal regulation of bothXTHgenes in PEG-mediated Al accumulation in the root tips.MethodsIn this study the spatial and temporal expression patterns of Al-inhibited root elongation, Al accumulation,XTHgene expression and xyloglucan endotransglucosylase (XET) enzyme action in the root tips were analysed under PEG-induced OS by a combination of physiological and molecular approaches such as quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) andin situfluorescence detection of XET in root tips.Key ResultsThe results showed that Al accumulation, expression ofXTHgenes and XET action were distinctly reduced in the apical 0–2, 2–7 and 7–12 mm zones under OS, implying a potential regulatory role ofXTHgenes and XET enzyme in CW Al accumulation in these zones.ConclusionsThe results provide novel insights into the physiological and molecular mechanisms of CW structure modification as a response of plant roots to OS, which will contribute to mitigate Al and drought stresses, severely limiting crop yields on acid soils.
