Hormonal Solution for (Root) Hair Extension
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefRoot hairs are tubular outgrowths of a subset of root epidermal cells serving multiple roles, including plant anchorage in the soil, water and nutrient absorption, and symbiotic interactions with nitrogen fixing bacteria in legumes (Salazar-Henao et al., 2016). Root hairs form an interface between the…
Shared Genetic Control of Root Traits across Taxa
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideRoot system architecture (RSA) plays a crucial role in plant productivity and tolerance to environmental stresses. The maize (Zea mays) root system, composed of the embryonic primary root and variable numbers of seminal roots, as well as postembryonic shoot-borne and lateral roots, is both different…
Auxin and Microtubule Array Patterning
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideThe Arabidopsis hypocotyl is a valuable model for studying axial growth phenomena in flowering plants owing to its dramatic cell elongation in the absence of cell division and its sensitivity to environmental cues. When grown in the dark, a hypocotyl rapidly elongates, using the energy reserves in the…

The Nuclear Envelope and Stomatal Dynamics
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideEukaryotic nuclei are double membrane-bound organelles with distinct inner nuclear membranes (INM) and outer nuclear membranes (ONM). The site where the INM and ONM meet forms the nuclear pore, where nucleocytoplasmic transport occurs. Spanning the INM and the ONM are protein complexes known as “linkers…
Open Sesame! Uncovering a Hidden Key Used by Pathogenic Bacteria to Open the Doors Connecting Plant Cells
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefIt has been known for several decades, and suggested as early as the 1930s (Caldwell 1931), that viruses move their proteins and other molecules from one plant cell to the next by altering and regulating plasmodesmata (PD), the tiny doors connecting the cytoplasm between plant cells. And only in the…
