PRX102 Participates in Root Hairs Tip Growth of Rice [PDF]
Rice, 2023 Root hairs are extensions of epidermal cells on the root tips that increase the root contract surface area with the soil. For polar tip growth, newly synthesized proteins and other materials must be incorporated into the tips of root hairs.

Loss-of-function of MEDIATOR 12 or 13 subunits causes the swelling of root hairs in response to sucrose and abscisic acid in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2023 Root hairs are epidermal cell extensions that increase the root surface for water and nutrient acquisition. Thus, both the initiation and elongation of root hairs are critical for soil exploration and plant adaptation to ever changing growth conditions ...

The Root Hair Specific SYP123 Regulates the Localization of Cell Wall Components and Contributes to Rizhobacterial Priming of Induced Systemic Resistance [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Root hairs are important for nutrient and water uptake and are also critically involved the interaction with soil inhabiting microbiota. Root hairs are tubular-shaped outgrowths that emerge from trichoblasts.

Plant Age and Soil Texture Rather Than the Presence of Root Hairs Cause Differences in Maize Resource Allocation and Root Gene Expression in the Field [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Understanding the biological roles of root hairs is key to projecting their contributions to plant growth and to assess their relevance for plant breeding. The objective of this study was to assess the importance of root hairs for maize nutrition, carbon

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.

Plasticity of wheat seedling responses to K+ deficiency highlighted by integrated phenotyping of roots and root hairs over the whole root system [PDF]
Stress Biology, 2023 The availability in the soil of potassium (K+), a poorly mobile macronutrient required in large quantities for plant growth, is generally suboptimal for crop production in the absence of fertilization, making improvement of the ability of crops to adapt ...

Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy Quantifies Calcium Oscillations in Root Hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
Plant Cell Physiol, 2017 Calcium oscillations play a role in the regulation of the development of tip-growing plant cells. Using optical microscopy, calcium oscillations have been observed in a few systems (e.g. pollen tubes, fungal hyphae and algal rhizoids).

Root hairs aid soil penetration by anchoring the root surface to pore walls. [PDF]
J Exp Bot, 2016 The physical role of root hairs in anchoring the root tip during soil penetration was examined. Experiments using a hairless maize mutant (Zea mays: rth3–3) and its wild-type counterpart measured the anchorage force between the primary root of maize and ...
