Root hair‐specific expansins modulate root hair elongation in rice [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2011 SummaryRoot hair growth requires intensive cell‐wall modification. This study demonstrates that root hair‐specific expansin As, a sub‐clade of the cell wall‐loosening expansin proteins, are required for root hair elongation in rice (Oryza sativaL.). We identified a gene encodingEXPA17(OsEXPA17) from a rice mutant with short root hairs.

Response of in situ root phenotypes to potassium stress in cotton [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Potassium plays a significant role in the basic functions of plant growth and development. Potassium uptake is closely associated with morphological characteristics of the roots.

The Arabidopsis Book, 2014 Roots hairs are cylindrical extensions of root epidermal cells that are important for acquisition of nutrients, microbe interactions, and plant anchorage. The molecular mechanisms involved in the specification, differentiation, and physiology of root hairs in Arabidopsis are reviewed here.

Genome-wide association study reveals the genetic architecture of root hair length in maize
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Root hair, a special type of tubular-shaped cell, outgrows from root epidermal cell and plays important roles in the acquisition of nutrients and water, as well as interactions with biotic and abiotic stress.

Uncovering genes and ploidy involved in the high diversity in root hair density, length and response to local scarce phosphate in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Plant root hairs increase the root surface to enhance the uptake of sparingly soluble and immobile nutrients, such as the essential nutrient phosphorus, from the soil.

Dissecting Hierarchies between Light, Sugar and Auxin Action Underpinning Root and Root Hair Growth
Plants, 2021 Plant roots are very plastic and can adjust their tissue organization and cell appearance during abiotic stress responses. Previous studies showed that direct root illumination and sugar supplementation mask root growth phenotypes and traits.

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2011 Root hairs are single cells specialized in the absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. Growing root hairs require intensive cell-wall changes to accommodate cell expansion at the apical end by a process known as tip or polarized growth. We have recently shown that cell wall glycoproteins such as extensions (EXTs) are essential components of ...

Root hair specification and its growth in response to nutrients
Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2021 Plant root hairs are cylindrical tubular projections from root epidermal cells. They increase the root surface area, which is important for the acquisition of water and nutrients, microbe interactions, and plant anchorage.
