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…

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…
Collinear Chromosomes and Shifting Centromeres in the Arabideae
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefFor such an important structure, the centromere certainly is hard to pin down, particularly in regard to the relationship between its sequence composition and epigenetic state and its functions in chromosome pairing and kinetochore formation. In addition to undergoing rapid sequence evolution, centromeres…
