On the evaluation of methods for the recovery of plant root systems from X-ray computed tomography images (2014)
Journal Article
Mairhofer, S., Sturrock, C., Wells, D. M., Bennett, M. J., Mooney, S. J., & Pridmore, T. P. (2014). On the evaluation of methods for the recovery of plant root systems from X-ray computed tomography images. Functional Plant Biology, 42(5), 460-470. https://doi.org/10.1071/FP14071

© CSIRO 2015. X-ray microcomputed tomography (μCT) allows nondestructive visualisation of plant root systems within their soil environment and thus offers an alternative to the commonly used destructive methodologies for the examination of plant root...

Branching out in roots: uncovering form, function, and regulation (2014)
Journal Article
Atkinson, J. A., Rasmussen, A., Traini, R., Voss, U., Sturrock, C., Mooney, S. J., …Bennett, M. J. (2014). Branching out in roots: uncovering form, function, and regulation. Plant Physiology, 166(2), 538-550. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.114.245423

Root branching is critical for plants to secure anchorage and ensure the supply of water, minerals, and nutrients. To date, research on root branching has focused on lateral root development in young seedlings. However, many other programs of postemb...

Systems Analysis of Auxin Transport in the Arabidopsis Root Apex (2014)
Journal Article
Band, L. R., Wells, D. M., Fozard, J. A., Ghetiu, T., French, A. P., Pound, M. P., …Bennett, M. J. (2014). Systems Analysis of Auxin Transport in the Arabidopsis Root Apex. Plant Cell, 26(3), 862-875. https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.113.119495

Auxin is a key regulator of plant growth and development. Within the root tip, auxin distribution plays a crucial role specifying developmental zones and coordinating tropic responses. Determining how the organ-scale auxin pattern is regulated at the... Read More about Systems Analysis of Auxin Transport in the Arabidopsis Root Apex.

Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending (2014)
Journal Article
Dyson, R. J., Vizcay-Barrena, G., Band, L. R., Fernandes, A. N., French, A. P., Fozard, J. A., …Jensen, O. E. (2014). Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending. New Phytologist, 202(4), 1212-1222. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.12764

Root elongation and bending require the coordinated expansion of multiple cells of different types. These processes are regulated by the action of hormones that can target distinct cell layers. We use a mathematical model to characterise the influenc... Read More about Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending.
