MLO-mediated Ca2+ influx regulates root hair tip growth in Arabidopsis

This study identifies MLO proteins as regulators of Ca2+ influx and ROS production in root hair tip growth through the FER/MLO signaling module in Arabidopsis.

Clade V MLO proteins are bona fide host susceptibility factors required for powdery mildew pathogenesis in Arabidopsis

ROS regulation of stigma papillae growth and maturation in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study investigates the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the growth and maturation of stigma papillae in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing that superoxide and hydrogen peroxide have distinct roles in papillae development and pollination.

Anisotropic diffuse growth in Arabidopsis stigma papillae

This study shows that Arabidopsis stigma papillae grow through anisotropic diffuse growth, supported by mutant analysis affecting microtubule and cellulose microfibril organization.
