Tip-growth is a mode of polarized cell expansion where incorporation of new membrane and wall is stably restricted to a single, small domain of the cell surface resulting in the formation of a tubular projection that extends away from the body of the cell. The organization of the microtubule cytoskeleton is conserved among tip-growing cells of land plants: bundles of microtubules run longitudinally along the non-growing shank and a network of fine microtubules grow into the apical dome where growth occurs. Together, these microtubule networks control the stable positioning of the growth site at the cell surface. This conserved dynamic organization is required for the spatial stability of tip-growth, as demonstrated by the formation of sinuous tip-growing cells upon treatment with microtubule-stabilizing or microtubule-destabilizing drugs. Microtubule associated proteins (MAPs) that either stabilize or destabilize microtubule networks are required for the maintenance of stable tip-growth in root hairs of flowering plants. NIMA RELATED KINASE (NEK) is a MAP that destabilizes microtubule growing ends in the apical dome of tip-growing rhizoid cells in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. We hypothesized that both microtubule stabilizing and destabilizing MAPs are required for the maintenance of the stable tip-growth in liverworts. To identify genes encoding microtubule-stabilizing and microtubule-destabilizing activities we generated 120,000 UV-B mutagenized and 336,000 T-DNA transformed Marchantia polymorpha plants and screened for defective rhizoid phenotypes. We identified 119 mutants and retained 30 mutants in which the sinuous rhizoid phenotype was inherited. The 30 mutants were classified into at least 4 linkage groups. Characterisation of two of the linkage groups showed that MAP genes-WAVE DAMPENED2-LIKE (WDL) and NIMA-RELATED KINASE (NEK)-are required to stabilize the site of tip growth in elongating rhizoids. Furthermore, we show that MpWDL is required for the formation of a bundled array of parallel and longitudinally orientated microtubules in the non-growing shank of rhizoids where MpWDL-YFP localizes to microtubule bundles. We propose a model where the opposite functions of MpWDL and MpNEK on microtubule bundling are spatially separated and promote tip-growth spatial stability.
