Dynamics of Actin Filaments Play an Important Role in Root Hair Growth Under Low Potassium Stress in Arabidopsis Thaliana

    Mingyang Li, Shihang Liu, Jinshu Wang … Che Wang
    Studysummary This study found that root hairs of wild-type Arabidopsis grow faster and longer under low potassium stress, with changes in actin filament dynamics and specific regulation by the actin bundling proteins VLN1 and VLN4.
