research Root Hair Defective Six-Like 4 (RSL4) Promotes Root Hair Elongation by Transcriptionally Regulating the Expression of Genes Required for Cell Growth

75 citations , July 2016 in “New phytologist”

This study found that RSL4 in Arabidopsis thaliana regulates genes necessary for root hair elongation by controlling proteins involved in cell signaling, cell wall modification, and secretion.

research Proline-Rich Protein-Like PRPL1 Controls Elongation of Root Hairs in Arabidopsis Thaliana

37 citations , August 2014 in “Journal of experimental botany”

This study identified the AtPRPL1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana as being involved in cell elongation processes, despite unclear changes in cell wall composition from its altered expression.

research O-Glycosylated Cell Wall Proteins Are Essential in Root Hair Growth

274 citations , June 2011 in “Science”

In Arabidopsis thaliana, this study found that proper O-glycosylation of extensins is crucial for root hair elongation and self-assembly of the cell wall.

research Cis-Element and Transcriptome-Based Screening of Root Hair-Specific Genes and Their Functional Characterization in Arabidopsis

188 citations , May 2009 in “Plant physiology”

This study identified 19 specific genes involved in root hair growth and morphogenesis in Arabidopsis, using a combination of computational and experimental methods.

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.
