A novel root hair mutant, srh1, affects root hair elongation and reactive oxygen species levels in wheat [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceBackgroundRoot hairs are single-celled projections on root surfaces, critical for water and nutrient uptake. Here, we describe the first short root hair mutant in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), identified in a mutagenized population and termed here short ...

Regulation of Phytohormones on the Growth and Development of Plant Root Hair [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The tubular-shaped unicellular extensions of plant epidermal cells known as root hairs are important components of plant roots and play crucial roles in absorbing nutrients and water and in responding to stress.

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.

Chitosan stimulates root hair callose deposition, endomembrane dynamics, and inhibits root hair growth. [PDF]
Plant Cell EnvironAbstractAlthough angiosperm plants generally react to immunity elicitors like chitin or chitosan by the cell wall callose deposition, this response in particular cell types, especially upon chitosan treatment, is not fully understood. Here we show that the growing root hairs (RHs) of Arabidopsis can respond to a mild (0.001%) chitosan treatment by the ...

Plant elicitor Peptides regulate root hair development in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant SciencePlant Elicitor Peptides (Peps) induce plant immune responses and inhibit root growth through their receptors PEPR1 and PEPR2, two receptor-like kinases. In our study, we found a previously unknown function of Peps that enhance root hair growth in a PEPRs-

ROS and calcium oscillations are required for polarized root hair growth [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 Root hairs are filamentous extensions from epidermis of plant roots with growth limited to the apical dome. Cell expansion undergoes tightly regulated processes, including the coordination between cell wall loosening and cell wall crosslinking, to form ...

Target of Rapamycin is involved in root hair development in Phaseolus vulgaris [PDF]
Plant Signaling & BehaviorRoot hairs are essential for nutrient acquisition and rhizosphere interactions in vascular plants. While the Target of Rapamycin (TOR) kinase is a well established regulator of growth and metabolism, its role in root hair development in Phaseolus ...
