Root hairs facilitate rice root penetration into compacted layers (2024)
Journal Article

Compacted soil layers adversely affect rooting depth and access to deeper nutrient and water resources, thereby impacting climate resilience of crop production and global food security. Root hair plays well-known roles in facilitating water and nutri... Read More about Root hairs facilitate rice root penetration into compacted layers.

Root plasticity vs. elasticity – When are responses acclimative? (2024)
Journal Article

Spatiotemporal soil heterogeneity and the resulting edaphic stress cycles can be decisive for crop growth. However, our understanding of the acclimative value of root responses to heterogeneous soil conditions remains limited. We outline a framework...

Author Response: Glutaredoxin regulation of primary root growth is associated with early drought stress tolerance in pearl millet (2024)
Working Paper

Seedling root traits impact plant establishment under challenging environments. Pearl millet is one of the most heat and drought tolerant cereal crops that provides a vital food source across the sub-Saharan Sahel region. Pearl millet’s early root sy...

Uncovering root compaction response mechanisms: new insights and opportunities (2023)
Journal Article

Compaction disrupts soil structure, reducing root growth, nutrient and water uptake, gas exchange, and microbial growth. Root growth inhibition by soil compaction was originally thought to reflect the impact of mechanical impedance and reduced water...

Hydraulic flux–responsive hormone redistribution determines root branching (2022)
Journal Article

Plant roots exhibit plasticity in their branching patterns to forage efficiently for heterogeneously distributed resources, such as soil water. The xerobranching response represses lateral root formation when roots lose contact with water. Here, we s...

Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism (2022)
Journal Article

Root angle in crops represents a key trait for efficient capture of soil resources. Root angle is determined by competing gravitropic versus anti-gravitropic offset (AGO) mechanisms. Here we report a new root angle regulatory gene termed ENHANCED GRA... Read More about Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism.

Ethylene inhibits rice root elongation in compacted soil via ABA- and auxin-mediated mechanisms (2022)
Journal Article

Soil compaction represents a major agronomic challenge, inhibiting root elongation and impacting crop yields. Roots use ethylene to sense soil compaction as the restricted air space causes this gaseous signal to accumulate around root tips. Ethylene...

Orchestration of ethylene and gibberellin signals determines primary root elongation in rice (2022)
Journal Article

Primary root growth in cereal crops is fundamental for early establishment of the seedling and grain yield. In young rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings, the primary root grows rapidly for 7-10 days after germination and then stops; however, the underlying...

OsJAZ11 regulates phosphate starvation responses in rice (2021)
Journal Article

Main conclusion: OsJAZ11 regulates phosphate homeostasis by suppressing jasmonic acid signaling and biosynthesis in rice roots. Abstract: Jasmonic Acid (JA) is a key plant signaling molecule which negatively regulates growth processes including root... Read More about OsJAZ11 regulates phosphate starvation responses in rice.

Uncovering How Auxin Optimizes Root Systems Architecture in Response to Environmental Stresses (2021)
Journal Article

Since colonizing land, plants have developed mechanisms to tolerate a broad range of abiotic stresses that include flooding, drought, high salinity, and nutrient limitation. Roots play a key role acclimating plants to these as their developmental pla... Read More about Uncovering How Auxin Optimizes Root Systems Architecture in Response to Environmental Stresses.

Plant roots sense soil compaction through restricted ethylene diffusion (2021)
Journal Article

© 2021 The Authors, some rights reserved. Soil compaction represents a major challenge for modern agriculture. Compaction is intuitively thought to reduce root growth by limiting the ability of roots to penetrate harder soils. We report that root gro...

Genetic analysis of the Arabidopsis TIR1/AFB auxin receptors reveals both overlapping and specialized functions (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, Prigge et al. The TIR1/AFB auxin co-receptors mediate diverse responses to the plant hormone auxin. The Arabidopsis genome encodes six TIR1/AFB proteins representing three of the four clades that were established prior to angiosperm radiation...
