Supplemental Figure 1 online. The CAP1 T-DNA insertion mutant has a lowercytoplasmic calcium concentration and BLAST results of cap1-1 and over-expressiontranscripts. (A) Location of T-DNA insertion. The structure of CAP1 is shown schematically;this gene has no intron. The vertical arrow indicates the T-DNA insertion site in the mutantlines. (B) RT-PCR analysis of CAP1 expression in T-DNA insertion mutant and over-expression lines (#1 and #2). CAP1 cDNA was amplified (~650 bp) for 35 PCR cycles; thepositive control Actin2 was amplified with 24 PCR cycles, and amplified fragments wereseparated on a 1.0% agarose gel (left panel). Smaller amplified fragments (~250 bp) of CAP1across the deletion region were separated on the 4% agarose gel (right panel). WTtranscripts display relatively slower mobility. Three biological replicates showed the sameresults. (C) Resting [Ca2+]cyt in seedlings. Values were averaged and plotted (WT = 31; cap1= 21). (D) Sequence BLAST (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) of cDNA fragmentsderived from cap1-1. A sequence deletion from 1422 bp to 1449 bp occurred in the mutant.Query seq = WT CAP1 cDNA sequence. (E) Sequence BLAST of cDNA fragment derivedfrom the two over-expression lines (#1 and #2). The deletion has been rescued in these lines.

Supplemental Figure 2 online. Root hair phenotype was complemented by CAP1driven by the wild-type promoter in mutants and suppression of CAP1 expressionin Arabidopsis RNAi knock-down lines. (A) WT, cap1-1, and complementation lines(Com-1 and Com-2, mutant cap1-1 transformed with CAP1 driven by the WT promoter)grow vertically on 1.2% MS medium for 7 d. Root hairs were recovered in bothtransformation lines. (B) Lengths and numbers of root hairs; means ± SE are indicated(n = 100 root hairs for WT and cap1-1; n = 60 for the Com-1 and Com-2 lines). (C)CAP1-silenced Arabidopsis roots at 7 d post germination.

Supplemental Figure 3 online. FRET-based YC3.6 shows levels of [Ca2+]cyt and

oscillation of tip-focused Ca2+ gradients only in wild-type root hairs. (A) Cytosolic

Ca2+ levels of root hair cells (a) and their adjacent epidermal cells (b) in WT and cap1-1.

Tip-focused Ca2+ gradients oscillated in growing WT root hairs (B), but no oscillation was

detected in cap1-1 root hairs (C). Cytosolic Ca2+ levels were pseudocolor-coded

according to the scale at the left. Images were taken every 15 s for WT and every 10 s for

cap1-1. (D) The Ca2+ gradient and oscillation in root tips were recovered in cap1 when

seedlings were grown in ammonium-deficient medium. Quantitative analysis of cytosolic

Ca2+ oscillations in the root hair is shown on the right of each panel. Ca2+ levels were

measured in 10 µm2 regions of interest along the root hair length. An increase in the

FRET/CFP ratio reflects an increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+ level. Bars = 10 µm.

Supplemental Figure 9 online. cap1-1 was more sensitive to high levels ofammonium than WT and the complementary lines. WT, cap1-1, and twocomplementary lines (com-1, 2) were sown on media with increasing ammonium(NH4Cl) levels (MS [NH4

+] = 20.6 mM, concentration of ammonium in MS medium).At pH 5.5, cap1-1 growth was inhibited more severely than that of other lines onmedia with increasing NH4

+ levels; while seedlings grew more slowly on higher pH(7.0) medium, inhibition of cap1-1 growth was more severe than in other lines athigh NH4

+ levels. Results from one of the three repeated experiments are shownhere. Photographs were taken after vertical growth in a growth chamber for 9 d.
