Chitosan stimulates root hair callose deposition and inhibits root hair growth

This study shows chitosan induces callose deposition and slows root hair growth in Arabidopsis, with distinct responses at low and high concentrations, and identifies conserved mechanisms in related plant structures.

Auxin coreceptor IAA17/AXR3 controls cell elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana root by modulation of auxin and gibberellin perception

This study shows that AXR3-1 modulates auxin and gibberellin perception to control cell elongation in Arabidopsis root, leading to altered growth and homeostasis.

The AFB1 auxin receptor controls the cytoplasmic auxin response pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study identifies the N-terminal region of AFB1 as critical for its specific role in the rapid auxin response pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana, including calcium influx and root growth inhibition.

A RAF-like kinase mediates a deeply conserved, ultra-rapid auxin response

The paper identifies a conserved RAF-like kinase mediating ultra-rapid auxin responses across land plants and algae, linking it to phosphorylation and fast physiological responses.

An ultra-fast, proteome-wide response to the plant hormone auxin

This study identifies an ultra-rapid auxin response system in Arabidopsis thaliana roots using phosphoproteomics, revealing over 1700 proteins modified within 30 seconds.

The AUX1-AFB1-CNGC14 module establishes longitudinal root surface pH profile

The paper identifies a module involving AUX1, AFB1, and CNGC14 that regulates root surface pH gradients, crucial for root navigation.

Biomolecular condensation orchestrates clathrin-mediated endocytosis in plants

This study shows that AtEH1 and AtEH2 subunits of the TPC complex drive biomolecular condensation to facilitate clathrin-mediated endocytosis in plants, with their disordered regions regulating condensate properties and endocytosis dynamics.

A sensitive and specific genetically encodable biosensor for potassium ions

The paper describes the development of a genetically encoded fluorescent K+ biosensor, GINKO2, optimized for sensitivity and specificity in vivo across multiple species.

ACORBA: Automated workflow to measure Arabidopsis thaliana root tip angle dynamic

ACORBA automates root tip angle measurement from various imaging sources, reducing human bias and improving reproducibility in gravitropism studies.

The AFB1 auxin receptor controls rapid auxin signaling and root growth through membrane depolarization in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study shows that AFB1 auxin receptor mediates auxin-induced membrane depolarization and rapid root growth inhibition in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Local brassinosteroid biosynthesis enables optimal root growth

This study shows that local brassinosteroid biosynthesis in the root elongation zone supports optimal root growth by creating a hormone concentration gradient that aligns with signaling maxima.

Live Tracking Of Moving Samples In Confocal Microscopy For Vertically Grown Plant Roots
