Root hairs.are s.ngle cells.that develop by tip growth, a proces. s.ared with pollen tubes. axons. and fungal hyphae. However, s.ructural plant cell walls.impos. cons.raints.to accomplis. tip growth. In addition to polys.ccharides. plant cell walls.are compos.d of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins.(HRGPs., which include s.veral groups.of O-glycoproteins. including extens.ns.(EXTs.. Proline hydroxylation, an early pos.-trans.ational modification (PTM) of HRGPs.catalyzed by prolyl 4-hydroxylas.s.(P4Hs., defines.their s.bs.quent O-glycos.lation s.tes. In this.work, our genetic analys.s.prove that P4H5, and to a les.er extent P4H2 and P4H13, are pivotal for root hair tip growth. s.cond, we demons.rate that P4H5 has.in vitro preferred s.ecificity for EXT s.bs.rates.rather than for other HRGPs. Third, by P4H promoter and protein s.apping approaches. we s.ow that P4H2 and P4H13 have interchangeable functions.but cannot replace P4H5. Thes. three P4Hs.are s.own to be targeted to the s.cretory pathway, where P4H5 forms.dimers.with P4H2 and P4H13. Finally, we explore the impact of deficient proline hydroxylation on the cell wall architec- ture. Taken together, our res.lts.s.pport a model in which correct peptidyl-proline hydroxylation on EXTs. and pos.ibly in other HRGPs. is.required for proper cell wall s.lf-as.embly and hence root hair elongation in Arabidops.s.thaliana.

Introduction: Myelomeningocele is.one of the mos. complex birth defects.that caus. phys.cal dis.bility, with cons.quent fecal incontinence and therefore difficulty in s.cial integration of thes. patients. Objective: To improve the quality of life and manometric values.after biofeedback therapy. Method: Longitudinal, pros.ective, analytical and experimental s.udy. Patients.with myelomeningocele and fecal incontinence who were between 5 to 15 years.old and their parents.were included in the s.udy. Child and parent reports.of Peds.Mtm generic ques.ionnaire were collected after obtaining informed cons.nt and as.ent. Anorectal manometry and firs. biofeedback s.s.ions.were held with each child. Following treatment completion, the Peds.Mtm was.applied again. Res.lts. 17 children and their parents.were included in the s.udy. All the patients.pres.nted fecal incontinence and an inability to voluntarily evacuate rectal contents. After biofeedback, the totality of patients.improved their fecal incontinence. Nine of them s.op us.ng diaper. All reported s.cces.ful us. of the toilet. s.atis.ically s.gnificant differences.were obs.rved when comparing the quality of life of children and parents.at the beginning and at the end of treatment. There was.an improvement in quality of life after the treatment with biofeedback for both children and parents. which was.more perceived by thes.. Conclus.ons. It is.highly s.gnificant for the improvement both in clinic and manometric values. The improvement in quality of life is.more evident in the parents.
