Rice genotype differences in tolerance of zinc-deficient soils: evidence for the importance of root-induced changes in the rhizosphere [PDF]
The Supplementary Material for this article can be found online at: http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpls.2015.01160Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a major constraint to rice production and Zn is also often deficient in humans with rice-based diets.

Aerobic irrigation can effectively improve the oxygen environment in the root zone, and enhance crop quality and yield. However, how aerobic irrigation regulates root growth has not been elucidated.

Root development: New meanings for root canals? [PDF]
During Arabidopsis root development, a radial pattern of tissues is extended by the meristem. These tissues form continuous layers and recent data suggest that tissue continuity is instrumental for constraining the direction of signaling in a process termed channeling.

RALFL34 regulates formative cell divisions in Arabidopsis pericycle during lateral root initiation [PDF]
We describe the role of RALFL34 during early events in lateral root development, and demonstrate its specific importance in orchestrating formative cell divisions in the pericycle.In plants, many signalling molecules, such as phytohormones, miRNAs ...

Dynamics of Auxin and Cytokinin Metabolism during Early Root and Hypocotyl Growth in Theobroma cacao
The spatial location and timing of plant developmental events are largely regulated by the well balanced effects of auxin and cytokinin phytohormone interplay.

Proline affects the size of the root meristematic zone in Arabidopsis [PDF]
We reported previously that root elongation in Arabidopsis is promoted by exogenous proline, raising the possibility that this amino acid may modulate root growth.

Roots Redefined: Anatomical and Genetic Analysis of Root Development [PDF]
The postembryonic development of plants is fueled by apical meristems, which are the local production sites of new cells that form a pattern of different cell types within an organ. The regularity of this pattern in the root yielded ideas on its formation from the meristem well before critical studies on the shoot apex were performed (e.g.

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.

AXR3 and SHY2 interact to regulate root hair development [PDF]
Signal transduction of the plant hormone auxin centres on the regulation of the abundance of members of the Aux/IAA family of transcriptional regulators, of which there are 29 in Arabidopsis.
