Osmotic regulation of root system architecture [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2005 SummaryAlthough root system architecture is known to be highly plastic and strongly affected by environmental conditions, we have little understanding of the underlying mechanisms controlling root system development. Here we demonstrate that the formation of a lateral root from a lateral root primordium is repressed as water availability is reduced ...

An auxin transport-based model of root branching in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Root architecture is a crucial part of plant adaptation to soil heterogeneity and is mainly controlled by root branching. The process of root system development can be divided into two successive steps: lateral root initiation and lateral root ...

To respond or not to respond? Natural variation of root architectural responses to nutrient signals [PDF]
, 2017 The amino acid glutamate (Glu) acts as a fast excitatory neurotransmitter in mammals. Its importance in plant signalling was recognized with the discovery of channel proteins similar to mammalian Glu receptors, as well as distinct changes in root-system ...
