Root hairs tie the root system to the soil substrate, facilitate water and nutrient absorption,
and enable the interaction with microbes in the soil. Root hair development can be classified …

Root hairs play important roles for the acquisition of nutrients, microbe interaction and plant
anchorage. In addition, root hairs provide an excellent model system to study cell patterning …

Root hair polar growth is endogenously controlled by auxin and sustained by oscillating
levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These cells extend several hundred-fold their …

Plant long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of chromatin
dynamics, impacting on transcriptional programs leading to different developmental outputs …

The molecular links between extracellular signals and the regulation of localized protein
synthesis in plant cells are poorly understood. Here, we show that in Arabidopsis thaliana …

Drought stress is the most important environmental stress limiting maize production.
ZmPTF1, a phosphate starvation-induced basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor …

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 …

Cys2His2-like fold group (C2H2)–type zinc finger proteins promote root hair growth and
development by regulating their target genes. However, little is known about their potential …

Root hair (RH) size has vital physiological implications, since it influences the surface area
of the root and thus the ability of the plant to absorb water and nutrients from the soil …

Extensins (EXTs) are highly repetitive plant O-glycoproteins that require several post-
translational modifications (PTMs) to become functional in plant cell walls. First, they are …
