Despite the major physiological dissimilarities between mature root regions and their tips,
differences in their gene expression profiles remain largely unexplored. In this research, the …

The root system is a crucial determinant of plant growth potential because of its important
functions, eg uptake of water and nutrients, structural support and interaction with symbiotic …

Crown roots constitute the main part of the rice root system. Several key genes involved in
crown root initiation and development have been identified by functional genomics …

There are two main types of root systems in flowering plants, namely taproot systems of
dicots and fibrous root systems found in monocots. Despite this fundamental split, our …

Root development relies on the establishment of meristematic tissues that give rise to
distinct cell types that differentiate across defined temporal and spatial gradients. Dissection …

The rice root system is primarily composed of shoot-borne adventitious/crown roots
(ARs/CRs) that develop from the coleoptile base, and therefore, it is an excellent model …

Background: As Oryza sativa ssp. indica and Oryza sativa ssp. japonica are the two major
subspecies of Asian cultivated rice, the adaptative evolution of these varieties in divergent …

Drought is the most serious abiotic stress limiting rice production, and deep root is the key
contributor to drought avoidance. However, the genetic mechanism regulating the …

Rice is one of the most important staple food crops in the world and occupies an important
position in maintaining sustainable food supply in China. Root is an indispensable organ of …

As a multicellular organism, rice flourishes relying on gene expression diversity among cells
of various functions. However, cellular-resolution transcriptome features are yet to be fully …
