Class III peroxidases PRX01 PRX44 PRX73 root hair growth Arabidopsis thaliana reactive oxygen species ROS cell wall properties peroxidase activity apoplastic regulators

TLDR PRX01, PRX44, and PRX73 are essential for root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.

The study investigates the role of Class III peroxidases PRX01, PRX44, and PRX73 in controlling root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana. The researchers found that these peroxidases are crucial for root hair elongation by regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and cell wall properties. The prx01,44,73 triple mutant exhibited shorter root hairs and reduced peroxidase activity, while overexpression of PRX44 and PRX73 led to longer root hairs and increased peroxidase activity. The findings suggest that PRX01, PRX44, and PRX73 function as apoplastic regulators of ROS-linked root hair cell elongation, with PRX44 playing a particularly significant role in rescuing root hair defects in the triple mutant.
