SUPRA-PHYSIOLOGICAL LEVELS OF GIBBERELLINS / DELLAS ALTER THE PATTERNING, MORPHOLOGY AND ABUNDANCE OF ROOT HAIRS IN ROOT TIPS OF ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA SEEDLINGS [PDF]
In spite of the role of gibberellins/DELLAs in leaf hair production, no investigations have assessed their function in the production of root hairs. To this aim, the effects of supra-physiological levels of GAs/DELLAs on the gene expression patterning of

Response of in situ root phenotypes to potassium stress in cotton [PDF]
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.

Uncovering genes and ploidy involved in the high diversity in root hair density, length and response to local scarce phosphate in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
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.

Genome-wide association study reveals the genetic architecture of root hair length in maize
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.

Dissecting Hierarchies between Light, Sugar and Auxin Action Underpinning Root and Root Hair Growth
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.

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 ...

Functional implications of K63-linked ubiquitination in the iron deficiency response of Arabidopsis roots [PDF]
Iron is an essential micronutrient that plays important roles as a redox cofactor in a variety of processes, many of which are related to DNA metabolism. The E2 ubiquitin conjugase UBC13, the only E2 protein that is capable of catalyzing the formation of

Root hair specification and its growth in response to nutrients
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.
