May 2016 in “Molecular biology of the cell” This study found that the AtSfh1 protein in Arabidopsis is essential for phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate signaling crucial to polarized root hair growth, utilizing both phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine-binding activities.
November 2022 in “Munich Personal RePEc Archive (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich)” In this study, the pi4kβ1β2 double mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana exhibited altered root growth, increased susceptibility to Blumeria graminis, and a potential correlation between PI4K activity and auxin response and immunity due to changes in vesicular trafficking and actin filaments.

June 2010 in “The Plant Cell” In this study, disruptions in phospholipase A2 activity in Arabidopsis thaliana significantly impaired the plasma membrane localization of PIN proteins, affecting auxin transport and root development.
May 2025 in “Texas Digital Library (University of Texas)” In this study, researchers using Arabidopsis thaliana found that adenosine may inhibit root hair growth and stomatal opening, suggesting it plays a signaling role in plants similar to its function in animal cells, potentially revealing a new adenosine-like receptor pathway.
