Dual expression and anatomy lines allow simultaneous visualization of gene expression and anatomy (2021)
Journal Article
Kümpers, B. M. C., Han, J., Vaughan-Hirsch, J., Redman, N., Ware, A., Atkinson, J. A., …Bishopp, A. (2022). Dual expression and anatomy lines allow simultaneous visualization of gene expression and anatomy. Plant Physiology, 188(1), 56-69. https://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiab503

Studying the developmental genetics of plant organs, requires following gene expression in specific tissues. To facilitate this, we have developed the Dual Expression Anatomy Lines (DEAL), which incorporate a red plasma membrane marker alongside a fl...

Non-invasive hydrodynamic imaging in plant roots at cellular resolution (2021)
Journal Article
Pascut, F. C., Couvreur, V., Dietrich, D., Leftley, N., Reyt, G., Boursiac, Y., …Webb, K. F. (2021). Non-invasive hydrodynamic imaging in plant roots at cellular resolution. Nature Communications, 12(1), 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-24913-z

A key impediment to studying water-related mechanisms in plants is the inability to non-invasively image water fluxes in cells at high temporal and spatial resolution. Here, we report that Raman microspectroscopy, complemented by hydrodynamic modelli... Read More about Non-invasive hydrodynamic imaging in plant roots at cellular resolution.

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.

Roots branch towards water by post-translational modification of transcription factor ARF7 (2018)
Journal Article
Orosa Puente, B., Leftley, N., Von Wangenheim, D., Banda, J., Anjil, S., Hill, K., …Bennett, M. (2018). Roots branch towards water by post-translational modification of transcription factor ARF7. Science, 362(6421), 1407-1410. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aau3956

Plants adapt to heterogeneous soil conditions by altering their root architecture. For example, roots branch when in contact with water using the hydropatterning response. We report that hydropatterning is dependent on auxin response factor ARF7. Thi... Read More about Roots branch towards water by post-translational modification of transcription factor ARF7.

A mechanistic framework for auxin dependent Arabidopsis root hair elongation to low external phosphate (2018)
Journal Article
Giehl, R. F. H., Bhosale, R., Giri, J., Pandey, B. K., Giehl, R. F., Hartmann, A., …Swarup, R. (2018). A mechanistic framework for auxin dependent Arabidopsis root hair elongation to low external phosphate. Nature Communications, 9(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-03851-3

Phosphate (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth. Roots employ adaptive mechanisms to forage for P in soil. Root hair elongation is particularly important since P is immobile. Here we report that auxin plays a critical role promoting root... Read More about A mechanistic framework for auxin dependent Arabidopsis root hair elongation to low external phosphate.
