MtLAX2, a functional homologue of the Arabidopsis auxin influx transporter AUX1, is required for nodule organogenesis (2017)
Journal Article
Roy, S., Robson, F., Lilley, J., Liu, C.-W., Cheng, X., Wen, J., Walker, S., Sun, J., Cousins, D., Bone, C., Bennett, M. J., Downie, J. A., Swarup, R., Oldroyd, G., & 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...

SHR overexpression induces the formation of supernumerary cell layers with cortex cell identity in rice (2017)
Journal Article
Henry, S., Dievart, A., Divol, F., Pauluzzi, G., Meynard, D., Swarup, R., Wu, S., Gallagher, K., & Périn, C. (2017). SHR overexpression induces the formation of supernumerary cell layers with cortex cell identity in rice. Developmental Biology, 425(1), 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2017.03.001

The number of root cortex cell layers varies among plants, and many species have several cortical cell layers. We recently demonstrated that the two rice orthologs of the Arabidopsis SHR gene, OsSHR1 and OsSHR2, could complement the A. thaliana shr m...

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., Swarup, K., Denyer, T., Hobbs, J. K., Swarup, R., Fleming, A. J., & 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.
