MYB68 regulates radial endodermal differentiation and suberin patterning

This study identifies MYB68 as a regulator of pole-specific endodermal differentiation and suberin patterning in Arabidopsis roots, revealing insights into passage cell function and radial endodermal organization.

MYB68 orchestrates cork differentiation by regulating stem cell proliferation and suberin deposition

This study identifies MYB36 subclade transcription factors as regulators of cork differentiation by promoting suberin deposition and repressing cork cambium proliferation.

Apoplastic barrier establishment in roots and nodules of Lotus japonicus is essential for root-shoot signaling and N-fixation

This study identifies the role of apoplastic barriers in Lotus japonicus roots and nodules, showing their necessity for nitrogen fixation and root-shoot signaling.

Root barrier surveillance mechanisms convey soil nitrogen status to shoots

This study rewires root barrier formation to investigate the role of the Schengen pathway in conveying soil nitrogen status to shoots and its impact on root microbiome and plant growth.

Auxin-dependent acceleration of cell division rates regulates root growth at elevated temperature

This study shows that elevated temperature promotes primary root growth in Arabidopsis thaliana by accelerating cell division rates through auxin-mediated signaling, distinct from shoot thermomorphogenesis.

Modulation of Arabidopsis growth by volatile organic compounds from a root-derived bacterial community

This study investigates how volatile organic compounds from a root-derived bacterial community modulate Arabidopsis growth and defense responses, revealing community-level effects rather than individual species contributions.

Phellem translational landscape throughout secondary development in Arabidopsis roots

The paper tracks phellem differentiation in Arabidopsis roots using TRAP-SEQ, identifying key genes and modules involved in suberization and cell wall synthesis.

Suberin plasticity to developmental and exogenous cues is regulated by a set of MYB transcription factors

The paper identifies four MYB transcription factors that regulate suberin formation in roots in response to developmental and environmental cues, and shows their role in nutrient homeostasis.

Tissue-autonomous phenylpropanoid production is essential for establishment of root barriers

The paper shows that tissue-autonomous phenylpropanoid production is essential for forming the endodermal Casparian strip and maintaining suberin matrix deposition in roots.

ROS production by localized SCHENGEN receptor module drives lignification at subcellular precision

The paper identifies a kinase signaling relay that controls ROS production and lignification with subcellular precision by leveraging kinase localization and ROS as a co-substrate.
