Abstract
The spatial regulation of growth is an important determinant of plant form. We discovered that reactive oxygen species (ROS) is produced by RHD2/AtrbohC control cell growth. The sub-cellular distribution of ROS indicates that the spatial distribution of ROS dictates the sites of growth on a cell. We therefore predict that the spatial distribution of RHD2/AtrbohC protein and its regulators specifies the sites of cell growth. The aims of this proposal are to characterise the distribution of RHD2/AtrhohC in growing cells, determine if RHD2/AtrbohC co-localises with ROP GTP-ases which are located at growth points and to identify other members of the RHD2/AtrboC gene family that regulate cell growth.
