Abscisic acid signaling gates salt-specific responses of plant roots

This study shows that ABA signaling suppresses sodium-specific gene responses in Arabidopsis roots and protects against salt-induced cellular damage.

Warm temperature and mild water stress cooperatively promote root elongation

This study shows that warm temperature and mild water stress together promote root elongation in plants, involving SnRK2.2/SnRK2.3 and COP1 in regulating HY5 stability.

CYP79B2 and CYP79B3 contribute to root branching through production of the auxin precursor indole-3-acetonitrile

This study shows that CYP79B2 and CYP79B3 regulate lateral root density under salt stress by producing the auxin precursor indole-3-acetonitrile (IAN).

Root branching in salt requires auxin-independent modulation of LBD16 function

The paper shows that salt stress modulates lateral root development through an auxin-independent pathway involving ZAT6 and LBD16.

Cell wall extensin arabinosylation is required for root directional response to salinity

The paper identifies a genetic locus associated with root bending in response to salinity, showing that extensin arabinosylation is required for directional root responses to salt.

A molecular framework for control of oriented cell division in the Arabidopsis embryo

This study identifies auxin's role in controlling division plane orientation in Arabidopsis embryos through cytoskeleton remodeling and cell geometry.
