Journal Article
Dietrich, D., Pang, L., Kobayashi, A., Fozard, J. A., Boudolf, V., Bhosale, R., …Bennett, M. J. (2017). Root hydrotropism is controlled via a cortex-specific growth mechanism. Nature Plants, 3(6), Article 17057. https://doi.org/10.1038/nplants.2017.57

Plants can acclimate by using tropisms to link the direction of growth to environmental conditions. Hydrotropism allows roots to forage for water, a process known to depend on abscisic acid (ABA) but whose molecular and cellular basis remains unclear...
