7 / 7 results

research Local Positive Feedback Regulation Determines Cell Shape In Root Hair Cells

512 citations , February 2008 in “Science”

In this study, researchers found that a positive feedback loop involving Ca 2+ and RHD2 NADPH oxidase-derived ROS helps maintain growth sites, crucial for root hair development and cell shape in Arabidopsis thaliana.

research Distribution of G-Actin Is Related to Root Hair Growth of Wheat

25 citations , May 2006 in “Annals of Botany”

This study suggests that a tip-focused gradient of intracellular G-actin concentration at the apex is crucial for root hair growth, and maintaining this gradient requires high calcium levels at the root hair tips.

research The Tip Growth Defective1 S-Acyl Transferase Regulates Plant Cell Growth in Arabidopsis

147 citations , August 2005 in “The Plant Cell”

This study identified a key Arabidopsis thaliana gene, TIP1, whose product is involved in S-acylation crucial for normal plant cell growth, particularly affecting root hair development.

research Building A Hair: Tip Growth In Arabidopsis Thaliana Root Hairs

141 citations , June 2002 in “Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences”

This review discusses recent physiological and genetic advances in understanding tip growth in Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs and reports no new experimental results.

research Microtubules Regulate Tip Growth And Orientation In Root Hairs Of Arabidopsis Thaliana

287 citations , March 1999 in “The Plant Journal”

This study found that disrupting the microtubule cytoskeleton in Arabidopsis root hairs caused loss of growth directionality and suggested microtubules interact with calcium gradients to regulate apical growth stability.

research Root Hair Growth in Arabidopsis Thaliana Is Directed by Calcium and an Endogenous Polarity

200 citations , November 1997 in “Planta”

This study found that while a tip-focused calcium gradient influences localized growth in root hairs and pollen tubes, it is not the primary determinant of growth direction in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana.

research Cytoplasmic Free Calcium Distributions During the Development of Root Hairs of Arabidopsis Thaliana

317 citations , August 1997 in “The Plant Journal”

This study observed that while calcium influx does not initiate root hairs in Arabidopsis thaliana, it may be crucial for sustaining their elongation through elevated calcium levels at the root hair tip.
