abstract = {Although plant organ shapes are defined by spatio-temporal
variations of directional tissue expansion, this is a little
characterized aspect of organ growth regulation. Although it
is well known that the plant hormone gibberellin increases
the leaf length/with ratio, its effects on cell expansion in
the growing leaf are largely unknown. To understand how
variations in rate and anisotropy of growth establish the
typical monocotelydonous leaf shape, we studied the leaf
growth zone of maize (Zea mays) with a kinematic analysis of
cell expansion in the three directions of growth:
proximo-distal, medio-lateral, and dorso-ventral. To
determine the effect of gibberellin, we compared a
gibberellin-deficient dwarf3 mutant and the overproducing
UBI::GA20OX-1 line with their wild types. We found that, as
expected, longitudinal growth was dominant throughout the
growth zone. The highest degree of anisotropy occurred in
the division zone, where relative growth rates in width and
thickness were almost zero. Growth anisotropy was smaller in
the elongation zone, due to higher lateral and dorso-ventral
growth rates. Growth in all directions stopped at the same
position. Gibberellin increased the size of the growth zone
and the degree of growth anisotropy by stimulating
longitudinal growth rates. Inversely, the duration of
expansion was negatively affected, so that mature cell
length was unaffected, while width and height of cells were
reduced. Our study provides a detailed insight in the
dynamics of growth anisotropy in the maize leaf and
demonstrates that gibberellin specifically stimulates
longitudinal growth rates throughout the growth zone.},
