abstract = {Rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) is a 49-amino-acid
peptide that rapidly alkalinizes cultivated tobacco cell
cultures. In the native tobacco Nicotiana attenuata, NaRALF
occurs as a single-copy gene and is highly expressed in
roots and petioles. Silencing the NaRALF transcript by
transforming N. attenuata with an inverted-repeat construct
generated plants (irRALF) with normal wild-type (WT)
above-ground parts, but with roots that grew longer and
produced trichoblasts that developed into abnormal root
hairs. Most trichoblasts produced a localized 'bulge'
without commencing root hair tip growth; fewer trichoblasts
grew, but were only $10\%$ as long as those of WT plants.
The root hair phenotype was associated with slowed
apoplastic pH oscillations, increased pH at the tips of
trichoblasts and decreased accumulation of reactive oxygen
species in the root hair initiation zone. The root hair
growth phenotype was partially restored when irRALF lines
were grown in a low-pH-buffered medium, and reproduced in WT
plants grown in a high-pH-buffered medium. When irRALF
plants were grown in pH 5.6, 6.7 and 8.1 soils together with
WT plants in glasshouse experiments, they were out-competed
by WT plants in basic, but not acidic, soils. When WT and
irRALF lines were planted into the basic soils of the native
habitat of N. attenuata in the Great Basin Desert, irRALF
plants had smaller leaves, shorter stalks, and produced
fewer flowers and seed capsules than did WT plants. We
conclude that NaRALF is required for regulating root hair
extracellular pH, the transition from root hair initiation
to tip growth and plant growth in basic soils.},
