Background Plant roots sense and respond to changes in their soil environment, but
conversely contribute to rhizosphere organization through chemical, mechanical and biotic …

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 …

Developmental plasticity allows higher organisms to adapt to their environment. In contrast
to animals, plants exhibit a remarkable flexibility in their architecture and growth pattern in …

Aims Root hairs are important for uptake, especially for nutrients with low mobility in soils
with high sorption capacity. Mutants with defective root hairs are expected to have lower …

Root hairs are considered important for rhizosphere formation, which affects root system
functioning. Through interactions with soil microorganisms mediated by root exudation, root …

Abstract Background and Aims Root hairs are single-cell extensions of the epidermis that
face into the soil and increase the root–soil contact surface. Root hairs enlarge the …

Roots play an essential role in the acquisition of water and minerals from soils. Measuring
crop root architecture and assaying for changes in function can be challenging, but …

Crop root systems directly interact with soil in capturing water and nutrients, and are often
the primary casualties of many edaphic stresses. The essential role of the root system …

Root hairs are tubular extensions of epidermis cells. Transcriptome profiling demonstrated
that the single cell-type root hair transcriptome was less complex than the transcriptome of …

Aims Different drivers are known to shape rhizosphere microbiome assembly. How soil
texture (Texture) and presence or lack of root hairs (Root Hair) of plants affect the …
