Transcriptional regulation of PIN genes by FOUR LIPS and MYB88 during Arabidopsis root gravitropism [PDF]
PIN proteins are auxin export carriers that direct intercellular auxin flow and in turn regulate many aspects of plant growth and development including responses to environmental changes.

The GLV6/RGF8/CLEL2 peptide regulates early pericycle divisions during lateral root initiation [PDF]
Small peptides of the Arabidopsis GLV/RGF/CLEL family are involved in different developmental programmes, including meristem maintenance and gravitropic responses.

Formation of adventitious roots in plants is a common response to hypoxia caused by flooding. In tobacco, after one week of root hypoxia treatment, plants produced twice as many adventitious roots as the aerated plants, but their maximum length was ...

Quantitative Analysis of Soil Sheath Distribution in Maize Root Systems
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.

Mechanical adaptations of cleavers (Galium aparine) [PDF]
• 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

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)

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

Cadmium and arsenic-induced-stress differentially modulates Arabidopsis root architecture, peroxisome distribution, enzymatic activities and their nitric oxide content [PDF]
In plant cells, cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) exert toxicity mainly by inducing oxidative stress through an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and their detoxification. Nitric oxide (NO)

Plastid translation is essential for lateral root stem cell patterning in Arabidopsis thaliana
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.

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.
