Identification of Critical Amino Acid Residues Required for the Polar Localization of a Rice Manganese Transporter

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice has developed an efficient system for manganese (Mn) uptake, mediated by two distinct transporters, OsNramp5 and OsMTP9. These transporters exhibit polar localization at the root exodermis and endodermis; however, the mechanisms underlying their polar localization and their role in Mn uptake remain unclear.

Cross‐Species Plasticity and Divergence Under Alkaline Soil Signature Conditions Differentiating PYE From FIT Target Transcripts in the Arabidopsis thaliana Ferrome

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil pH is an influential abiotic environmental factor. Here, we identify responses to central stimuli associated with calcareous alkaline soils in Arabidopsis and comparatively explore the potential of the closely related Arabidopsis halleri for addressing how plants cope with local soil pH.

The structure of the endodermis during the development of pea (Pisum sativum L.) roots

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
It is shown on the basis of cytological studies that during the development of the pea root endodermis, the following structures were formed (in order of appearance): proendodermis, Casparian strips, suberin lamellae and secondary cell walls.

Root zone-specific localization of AMTs determines ammonium transport pathways and nitrogen allocation to shoots. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2018
In plants, nutrient provision of shoots depends on the uptake and transport of nutrients across the root tissue to the vascular system. Nutrient delivery to the vasculature is mediated via the apoplastic transport pathway (ATP), which uses the free space

OsPIP2;1 impacts root hydraulic conductance and is a candidate gene for a drought avoidance QTL on rice chromosome 7

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In this study, we identified a rice plasma membrane intrinsic aquaporin (OsPIP2;1) as the candidate gene for a chromosome 7 locus driving drought avoidance, supported by established and novel physiological experiments measuring root hydraulic conductance in near isogenic and RNAi knockdown lines.

Root economic space is associated with rhizosphere microbial divergence via root metabolite‐mediated pathways in degraded grasslands

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2068-2082, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Grasslands worldwide are experiencing severe degradation due to overgrazing, climate change and anthropogenic disturbances, resulting in substantial declines in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

Morpho-Anatomical Analysis of the Rhizome in Species of Scleria Berg. (Cyperaceae) from Serra do Cipó (MG)

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2009
Aspects related to the nature of stem thickening in monocotyledons have been the subject of many studies. Primary thickening has been attributed to the Primary Thickening Meristem (PTM).

Leaf Size in Conifers: Global Associations With Climate and Evolutionary History

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Global patterns in leaf size are linked to climatic trade‐offs, so we explore these relationships in a major group of plants, the conifers. Using contemporary phylogenetic methods, we show that conifers display a strong pattern of evolutionary conservatism in the association of leaf size with climate, and highlight that these relationships are driven ...

Endophyte‐induced systemic spatial reprogramming of metabolism in Populus trichocarpa roots under drought

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 438-454, July 2026.
Summary Beneficial, facultative endophytes help plants thrive in challenging environments by altering their host's metabolism, but how these cellular scale metabolic changes propagate to the systems biology scale is unknown. In this work, we employed a high‐resolution chemical imaging approach to map metabolic changes at the Populus trichocarpa root ...

COCHLEATA controls spatial regulation of cytokinin and auxin during nodule development

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 228-244, July 2026.
Nodule development defects in the coch mutant include root‐like structures, reduced colonisation, and vascular disorganisation. Summary Root nodules host nitrogen‐fixing bacteria and likely evolved through modifications of the lateral root program. Members of the NOOT‐BOP‐COCH‐LIKE transcriptional coregulator family suppress root identity in nodules ...
