Developmental roles of AUX1/LAX auxin influx carriers in plants (2019)
Journal Article
Swarup, R., & Bhosale, R. (2019). Developmental roles of AUX1/LAX auxin influx carriers in plants. Frontiers in Plant Science, 10, Article 1306. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2019.01306

Plant hormone auxin regulates several aspects of plant growth and development. Auxin is predominantly synthesized in the shoot apex and developing leaf primordia and from there it is transported to the target tissues e.g. roots. Auxin transport is po...

Role of cis-zeatin in root responses to phosphate starvation (2019)
Journal Article
Silva-Navas, J., Conesa, C. M., Saez, A., Navarro-Nelia, S., Garcia-Mina, J. M., Zamarreño, A. M., …del Pozo, J. C. (2019). Role of cis-zeatin in root responses to phosphate starvation. New Phytologist, 224(1), 242-257. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16020

Phosphate (Pi) is an essential nutrient for all organisms. Root are underground organs, but the majority of the root biology studies have been done growing the root system in presence of light. Root illumination alters the Pi starvation response (... Read More about Role of cis-zeatin in root responses to phosphate starvation.

Identification of nitrogen-dependent QTL and underlying genes for root system architecture in hexaploid wheat (2019)
Other
Griffiths, M., Atkinson, J. A., Gardiner, L.-J., Swarup, R., Pound, M. P., Wilson, M. H., …Wells, D. M. (2019). Identification of nitrogen-dependent QTL and underlying genes for root system architecture in hexaploid wheat

The root system architecture (RSA) of a crop has a profound effect on the uptake of nutrients and consequently the potential yield. However, little is known about the genetic basis of RSA and resource dependent response in wheat (Triticum aestivum L....
