Tonoplast Aquaporins Facilitate Lateral Root Emergence [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2016 Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channels allowing fast and passive diffusion of water across cell membranes. It was hypothesized that AQPs contribute to cell elongation processes by allowing water influx across the plasma membrane and the tonoplast to maintain adequate turgor pressure. Here, we report that, in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the highly

Mechanical adaptations of cleavers (Galium aparine) [PDF]
, 2004 • Background and Aims Cleavers (Galium aparine) is a fast-growing herbaceous annual with a semi-self-supporting, scrambling-ascending growth habit. Mature plants often use upright species for support. It is common in hedgerows and on waste ground. This

Lateral Roots: Random Diversity in Adversity [PDF]
Trends in Plant Science, 2019 Lateral roots are essential for soil foraging and uptake of minerals and water. They feature a large morphological diversity that results from divergent primordia or root growth and development patterns. Besides a structured diversity, resulting from the hierarchical and developmental organization of root systems, there exists a random diversity ...

Quantitative Analysis of Soil Sheath Distribution in Maize Root Systems
Plant Production Science, 1999 The soil sheath (SS) distribution and its change with the passage of time in maize root systems were investigated. Maize seeds were planted in deep pots, and the roots were sampled at 2, 3, 4 and 6 weeks after sowing.

Plasticity of Lateral Root Branching in Maize
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Extensively branched root systems can efficiently capture soil resources by increasing their absorbing surface in soil. Lateral roots are the roots formed from pericycle cells of other roots that can be of any type.

Nitrate and phosphate availability and distribution have different effects on root system architecture of Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2002 Plant root systems can respond to nutrient availability and distribution by changing the three-dimensional deployment of their roots: their root system architecture (RSA). We have compared RSA in homogeneous and heterogeneous nitrate and phosphate supply

Genetic regulation of lateral root development
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 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.

Plant Production Science, 2005 We assumed that allocation of photosynthate is one of the main factors that regulate lateral root development in root systems under water deficit conditions. Six-days-old maize seedlings were exposed to osmotic stress (-0.21 MPa). Then, the sugar content

Hypocotyl adventitious root organogenesis differs from lateral root development [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 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. Yet, adventitious rooting also takes place without wounding. This happens for example in etiolated Arabidopsis thaliana

Plastid translation is essential for lateral root stem cell patterning in Arabidopsis thaliana
Biology Open, 2018 The plastid evolved from a symbiotic cyanobacterial ancestor and is an essential organelle for plant life, but its developmental roles in roots have been largely overlooked.
