English The majority of land plants have two suberized root barriers: the endodermis and the hypodermis (exodermis). Both barriers bear non-suberized passage cells that are thought to regulate water and nutrient exchange between the root and the soil. We learned a lot about endodermal passage cells, whereas our knowledge on hypodermal passage cells (HPCs) is still very scarce. Here we report on factors regulating the HPC number in Petunia roots. Strigolactones exhibit a positive effect, whereas supply of abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene, and auxin result in a strong reduction of the HPC number. Unexpectedly the strigolactone signaling mutant d14/dad2 showed significantly higher HPC numbers than the wild-type. In contrast, its mutant counterpart max2 of the heterodimeric receptor DAD2/MAX2 displayed a significant decrease in HPC number. A mutation in the Petunia karrikin sensor KAI2 exhibits drastically decreased HPC amounts, supporting the hypothesis that the dimeric KAI2/MAX2 receptor is central in determining the HPC number.
