Plant roots use a patterning mechanism to position lateral root branches toward available water (2014)
Journal Article
Bao, Y., Aggarwal, P., Robbins II, N. E., Sturrock, C., Thompson, M. C., Qi Tan, H., Tham, C., Duan, L., Rodriguez, P. L., Vernoux, T., Mooney, S. J., Bennett, M., & Dinneny, J. R. (2014).

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(25), 9319-9324. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1400966111

The architecture of the branched root system of plants is a major determinant of vigor. Water availability is known to impact root physiology and growth; however, the spatial scale at which this stimulus influences root architecture is poorly underst...

Developmental Cell, 28(1), 102-110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.devcel.2013.12.004

Plants survive adverse conditions by modulating their growth in response to a changing environment. Gibberellins (GAs) play a key role in these adaptive responses by stimulating the degradation of growth-repressing DELLA proteins. GA binding to its r...
