Bundling up the Role of the Actin Cytoskeleton in Primary Root Growth
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Primary root growth is required by the plant to anchor in the soil and reach out for nutrients and water, while dealing with obstacles. Efficient root elongation and bending depends upon the coordinated action of environmental sensing, signal ...

Gravity Sensing for Gravitropism
Annual Review of Plant BiologyGravitropism allows plants to reorient their growth along the gravity vector by sensing and responding to changes in orientation. This review summarizes recent advances in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying gravity sensing and signal transduction, with a focus on flowering plants.

Automatic measurement of rice tiller angle from unmanned aerial vehicle images
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) tiller angle is an important trait that influences plant architecture, canopy light interception, and yield potential. In this study, we proposed a deep learning‐based pipeline for automated measurement of rice tiller angle and plant base width using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 6384-6395, September 2026.ABSTRACT Roots emerging from seeds encounter substantial mechanical resistance during soil entry. A transient root cap cuticle (RCC) forms early in development, yet its contribution to root tip function during this mechanically challenging transition remains unclear.

Striking the Right Chord: Signaling Enigma during Root Gravitropism
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Plants being sessile can often be judged as passive acceptors of their environment. However, plants are actually even more active in responding to the factors from their surroundings. Plants do not have eyes, ears or vestibular system like animals, still
