Abstract |
Plants challenged with iron deficiency produce in their roots and secrete into the rhizosphere several small molecules named coumarins that derive from the phenylpropanoid pathway. Coumarins are biosynthesized in different root cell types and transported to the root epidermis prior to their secretion in the surrounding media. Taking advantage of the natural fluorescence of most coumarins glycosides when exposed to UV light, we developed a method to uncover their individual cellular localization and accumulation. This approach couples spectral imaging acquisition and linear unmixing analysis. In this protocol, we describe guidelines, experimental setup, and conditions for the analysis of coumarins localization and accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana root seedlings grown in control and iron deficiency conditions, at both acidic and alkaline pH. |
