Ethylene affects many aspects of plant growth and development, including root hairs and
trichomes growth in Arabidopsis, as well as fiber development in cotton, though the …

Root hairs are an extensive structure of root epidermal cells and are critical for nutrient
acquisition, soil anchorage, and environmental interactions in sessile plants. The …

Root hair initiation is a highly regulated aspect of root development. The plant hormone
ethylene and its precursor, 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, induce formation and …

Enhanced root hair production, which increases the root surface area for nutrient uptake, is a
typical adaptive response of plants to phosphate (Pi) starvation. Although previous studies …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) produces the most widely used natural fibers, yet the
regulatory mechanisms governing fiber cell elongation are not well understood. Through …

Ethylene promotes root hair development in many higher plants. Recently the role of
ethylene has been investigated in Arabidopsis because of the range of genetic resources …

The quality of cotton fiber is determined by its final length and strength, which is a function of
primary and secondary cell wall deposition. Using a comparative proteomics approach, we …

The alternating cell specifications of root epidermis to form hair cells or nonhair cells in
Arabidopsis are determined by the expression level of GL2, which is activated by an MYB …

The hypothesis that ethylene participates in the regulation of root hair development by
phosphorus availability in Arabidopsis thaliana was tested by chemically manipulating …

As one of the longest single‐celled seed trichomes, fibers provide an excellent model for
studying fundamental biological processes such as cell differentiation, cell expansion, and …
