Soil penetration by maize roots is negatively related to ethylene-induced thickening (2021)
Journal Article
Vanhees, D. J., Schneider, H. M., Sidhu, J. S., Loades, K. W., Bengough, A. G., Bennett, M. J., …Lynch, J. P. (2021). Soil penetration by maize roots is negatively related to ethylene-induced thickening. Plant, Cell and Environment, https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.14175

Radial expansion is a classic response of roots to a mechanical impedance that has generally been assumed to aid penetration. We analysed the response of maize nodal roots to impedance to test the hypothesis that radial expansion is not related to th...

Root angle in maize influences nitrogen capture and is regulated by calcineurin B-like protein (CBL)-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 15 (ZmCIPK15) (2021)
Journal Article
Schneider, H. M., Lor, V. S. N., Hanlon, M. T., Perkins, A., Kaeppler, S. M., Borkar, A. N., …Lynch, J. P. (2022). Root angle in maize influences nitrogen capture and is regulated by calcineurin B-like protein (CBL)-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 15 (ZmCIPK15). Plant, Cell and Environment, 45(3), 837-853. https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.14135

Crops with reduced nutrient and water requirements are urgently needed in global agriculture. Root growth angle plays an important role in nutrient and water acquisition. A maize diversity panel of 481 genotypes was screened for variation in root ang...

OsJAZ11 regulates phosphate starvation responses in rice (2021)
Journal Article
Pandey, B. K., Verma, L., Prusty, A., Singh, A. P., Bennett, M. J., Tyagi, A. K., …Mehra, P. (2021). OsJAZ11 regulates phosphate starvation responses in rice. Planta, 254(1), 1-16. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00425-021-03657-6

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
Leftley, N., Banda, J., Pandey, B., Bennett, M., & Voß, U. (2021). Uncovering How Auxin Optimizes Root Systems Architecture in Response to Environmental Stresses. Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 13(11), Article a040014. https://doi.org/10.1101/cshperspect.a040014

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
Pandey, B. K., Huang, G., Bhosale, R., Hartman, S., Sturrock, C. J., Jose, L., …Bennett, M. J. (2021). Plant roots sense soil compaction through restricted ethylene diffusion. Science, 371(6526), 276-280. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abf3013

© 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...
