Conserved RGF1 peptide signaling regulates root meristem development through ROS in Arabidopsis and rice

This study shows that RGF1 peptide signaling via ROS regulates root meristem development in Arabidopsis and rice, with conserved function across dicots and monocots.

Root meristem growth factor (RGF) peptide signaling as a molecular bridge between root development and non-lethal thermal stress adaptation

This study identifies RGF peptide signaling as critical for Arabidopsis root adaptation to non-lethal thermal stress, showing it mitigates stress effects and promotes root system complexity.

RGF1 controls PLT2 protein stability through ROS-dependent regulation of a cysteine residue in root meristem development

This study identifies that RGF1 regulates PLT2 protein stability via ROS-dependent modification of a cysteine residue, affecting root meristem development.
