An ectomycorrhizal fungus alters sensitivity to jasmonate, salicylate, gibberellin, and ethylene in host roots. [PDF]
The phytohormones jasmonate, gibberellin, salicylate, and ethylene regulate an interconnected reprogramming network integrating root development with plant responses against microbes.

Modulation of Arabidopsis and monocot root architecture by CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION 26 peptide [PDF]
Plant roots are important for a wide range of processes, including nutrient and water uptake, anchoring and mechanical support, storage functions, and as the major interface with the soil environment.

Validation and refinement of allometric equations for roots of northern hardwoods [PDF]
The allometric equations developed by Whittaker et al. (1974. Ecol. Monogr. 44: 233–252), at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest have been used to estimate biomass and productivity in northern hardwood forest systems for over three decades.

Diageotropica and Lateral Rooting, the Rest of the Story [PDF]
Plant roots have long been of practical and scientific interest for their role in plant stature, and water and nutrient uptake. One of the first classes of root to be singled out and explored were the lateral roots. Much of the study of lateral roots has been with seedling plants due to their early development and relatively easy access. McCully (1975)

Auxin and epigenetic regulation of SKP2B, an F-box that represses lateral root formation [PDF]
In plants, lateral roots originate from pericycle founder cells that are specified at regular intervals along the main root. Here, we show that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) SKP2B (for S-Phase Kinase-Associated Protein2B), an F-box protein ...

Impact of knee marker misplacement on gait kinematics of children with cerebral palsy using the Conventional Gait Model — a sensitivity study [PDF]
Clinical gait analysis is widely used in clinical routine to assess the function of patients with motor disorders. The proper assessment of the patient’s function relies greatly on the repeatability between the measurements.

The cyclophilin A DIAGEOTROPICA gene affects auxin transport in both root and shoot to control lateral root formation [PDF]
Cyclophilin A is a conserved peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) best known as the cellular receptor of the immunosuppressant cyclosporine A. Despite significant effort, evidence of developmental functions of cyclophilin A in non-plant systems ...

Genetic regulation of lateral root development
Lateral roots (LRs) are an important part of plant root systems. In dicots, for example, after plants adapted from aquatic to terrestrial environments, filamentous pseudorhizae evolved to allow nutrient absorption. A typical plant root system comprises a primary root, LRs, root hairs, and a root cap.

Spatiotemporal regulation of lateral root organogenesis in Arabidopsis by cytokinin [PDF]
The architecture of a plant's root system, established postembryonically, results from both coordinated root growth and lateral root branching. The plant hormones auxin and cytokinin are central endogenous signaling molecules that regulate lateral root ...

Hypocotyl adventitious root organogenesis differs from lateral root development [PDF]
Wound-induced adventitious root (AR) formation is a requirement for plant survival upon root damage inflicted by pathogen attack, but also during the regeneration of plant stem cuttings for clonal propagation of elite plant varieties.
