July 2021 in “Annals of Botany” This study observed that maize plants enhance phosphorus acquisition by promoting both root hair growth and lateral root development in response to localized nutrient patches, highlighting a complementary root trait trade-off.

February 2018 in “Scientia Horticulturae” In this study, the authors reported that mycorrhizal treatment in trifoliate orange seedlings affected root hair growth and auxin-related gene expressions differently under varying phosphorus levels.
3 citations
,
February 2002 This study suggests that low phosphorus and ethylene may influence root hair density through separate pathways, with ethylene manipulation affecting root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.
November 2023 in “Journal of plant nutrition and soil science” This study observed that maize plants, including a root hairless mutant variety, did not exhibit typical root growth or compensatory foraging behavior under severe boron deficiency in soil, indicating atypical responses compared to other plants.

October 2017 in “Scientific reports” This study found that a bacterial endophyte from Zea nicaraguensis effectively targets and colonizes plant root hair cells, promoting growth and solubilizing insoluble phosphorus for nutrient uptake.
