Roy, S., Robson, F., Lilley, J., Liu, C., Cheng, X., Wen, J., …Murray, J. D. (2017). MtLAX2, a functional homologue of the Arabidopsis auxin influx transporter AUX1, is required for nodule organogenesis. Plant Physiology, 174(1), 326-338. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.16.01473

Most legume plants can form nodules, specialized lateral organs that form on roots, and house nitrogen-fixing bacteria collectively called rhizobia. The uptake of the phytohormone auxin into cells is known to be crucial for development of lateral roo...

Formation of the stomatal outer cuticular ledge requires a guard cell wall proline-rich protein (2017)
Journal Article
Hunt, L., Amsbury, S., Baillie, A., Movahedi, M., Mitchell, A., Afsharinafar, M., …Gray, J. E. (2017). Formation of the stomatal outer cuticular ledge requires a guard cell wall proline-rich protein. Plant Physiology, 174(2), https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.16.01715

Stomata are formed by a pair of guard cells which have thickened, elastic cell walls to withstand the large increases in turgor pressure that have to be generated to open the pore that they surround. We have characterised FOCL1, a guard cell-expresse... Read More about Formation of the stomatal outer cuticular ledge requires a guard cell wall proline-rich protein.
