ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE SIX-LIKE Class I Genes Promote Root Hair Development in the Grass Brachypodium distachyon. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Genes encoding ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE SIX-LIKE (RSL) class I basic helix loop helix proteins are expressed in future root hair cells of the Arabidopsis thaliana root meristem where they positively regulate root hair cell development. Here we show that there

OsNOX3, encoding a NADPH oxidase, regulates root hair initiation and elongation in rice
Biologia Plantarum, 2018 Root hairs play important roles in plant nutrient and water acquisition. To better understand the genetic mechanism controlling root hair development in rice (Oryza sativa L.), a rice mutant with root hair defects was isolated and characterized.

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.

New Phytologist, 2023 Summary The effect of root hairs on water uptake remains controversial. In particular, the key root hair and soil parameters that determine their importance have been elusive. We grew maize plants (Zea mays) in microcosms and scanned them using synchrotron‐based X‐ray computed microtomography.

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.

BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Genome wide association (GWA) studies demonstrate linkages between genetic variants and traits of interest. Here, we tested associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in rice (Oryza sativa) and two root hair traits, root hair ...

PLoS Genetics, 2022 Actin cytoskeleton is essential for root hair formation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of actin dynamics in root hair formation in response to abiotic stress are largely undiscovered. Here, genetic analysis showed that actin-depolymerizing
