Root patterning: SHORT ROOT on the move [PDF]

Current Biology, 2001
The radial pattern of the plant root is determined by the action of two transcription factors, SHORT ROOT and SCARECROW, which are produced in different cell types. The SHORT ROOT protein has now been shown to move from cell to cell, regulating transcription of the downstream SCARECROW gene in the target cells.

Phenotypic Approaches to Drought in Cassava: Review

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
Cassava is an important crop in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Cassava can be produced adequately in drought conditions making it the ideal food security crop in marginal environments. Although cassava can tolerate drought stress, it can

Zinc Influences Regeneration of Talinum portulacifolium Stem Cuttings in Nutrient Solution

Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2018
Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development, but toxic at high concentrations. The present study focused to underline the direct effect of different concentrations (0-50 ppm) of Zn on the regeneration ability and ...

The involvement of auxin in root architecture plasticity in Arabidopsis induced by heterogeneous phosphorus availability

Biologia Plantarum, 2013
Homogeneous low phosphorus availability was reported to regulate root architecture in Arabidopsis via auxin, but the roles of auxin in root architecture plasticity to heterogeneous P availability remain unclear.

"GALVANOTROPISM" OF ROOTS [PDF]

Journal of General Physiology, 1927
1. New experiments, made in such a way to eliminate as completely as possible products of polarization and the migration of such products when formed, have shown that the exhibition of galvanotropic curvature in roots is mainly dependent upon such products, since no curvature appears when they are excluded. 2.
