Rice with reduced stomatal density conserves water and has improved drought tolerance under future climate conditions (2018)
Journal Article

Much of humanity relies on rice (Oryza sativa) as a food source, but cultivation is water intensive and the crop is vulnerable to drought and high temperatures. Under climate change, periods of reduced water availability and high temperature are expe...

Rice auxin influx carrier OsAUX1 facilitates root hair elongation in response to low external phosphate (2018)
Journal Article

Root traits such as root angle and hair length influence resource acquisition particularly for immobile nutrients like phosphorus (P). Here, we attempted to modify root angle in rice by disrupting the OsAUX1 auxin influx transporter gene in an effort...

A mechanistic framework for auxin dependent Arabidopsis root hair elongation to low external phosphate (2018)
Journal Article

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.

Enhanced thylakoid photoprotection can increase yield and canopy radiation use efficiency in rice (2018)
Journal Article

High sunlight can raise plant growth rates but can potentially cause cellular damage. The likelihood of deleterious effects is lowered by a sophisticated set of photoprotective mechanisms, one of the most important being the controlled dissipation of...

The auxin-regulated CrRLK1L kinase ERULUS controls cell wall composition during root hair tip growth (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Root hairs facilitate a plant's ability to acquire soil anchorage and nutrients. Root hair growth is regulated by the plant hormone auxin and dependent on localized synthesis, secretion, and modification of the root hair tip cell...

Root gravitropism: quantification, challenges, and solutions (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. Better understanding of root traits such as root angle and root gravitropism will be crucial for development of crops with improved resource use efficiency. This chapter describes a high-throughput, autom... Read More about Root gravitropism: quantification, challenges, and solutions.
