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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

The evolution of root hairs and rhizoids [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2012 Almost all land plants develop tip-growing filamentous cells at the interface between the plant and substrate (the soil). Root hairs form on the surface of roots of sporophytes (the multicellular diploid phase of the life cycle) in vascular plants.

An inventory of nutrient-responsive genes in Arabidopsis root hairs [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Root hairs, single cell extensions of root epidermal cells that are critically involved in the acquisition of mineral nutrients, have proven to be an excellent model system for studying plant cell growth.

The density and length of root hairs are enhanced in response to cadmium and arsenic by modulating gene expressions involved in fate determination and morphogenesis of root hairs in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Root hairs are tubular outgrowths that originate from epidermal cells. Exposure of Arabidopsis to cadmium (Cd) and arsenic [arsenite, As(III)] increases root hair density and length.

SUPRA-PHYSIOLOGICAL LEVELS OF GIBBERELLINS / DELLAS ALTER THE PATTERNING, MORPHOLOGY AND ABUNDANCE OF ROOT HAIRS IN ROOT TIPS OF ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA SEEDLINGS [PDF]
Journal of Plant Development, 2021 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
