Abstract
Root hair (RH) is essential for plant nutrient acquisition and the plant‐environment communication. Here we report that transcription factors MYB30 and ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE3 (EIN3) antagonistically modulate RH growth/elongation in Arabidopsis. The MYB30 loss‐of‐function mutant displays enhanced RH length, whereas the RH elongation in MYB30‐overexpressing plant is highly repressed. MYB30 physically interacts with EIN3, a master transcription factor in ethylene (ET) signaling. MYB30 directly binds the promoter region of ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE SIX‐LIKE4 (RSL4) and represses its transcription. RSL4 loss‐of‐function suppresses the enhanced RH growth in myb30 mutant plants. ET enhances MYB30‐EIN3 complex formation, and reduces the association between MYB30 and RSL4 promotor via the action of EIN3. MYB30 and EIN3 antagonistically regulate the expression of RSL4 and a subset of core RH genes genome‐widely. Taken together, our work revealed a novel transcriptional network that modulates RH growth in plants.Keywords
