October 2022 in “Biology” This study found that CAP1 plays a significant role in reducing ammonium toxicity in Arabidopsis thaliana by promoting shoot growth and maintaining reactive oxygen species homeostasis.
October 2025 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study experimentally validated Lockhart's viscoplastic framework for tip growth in Arabidopsis root hairs by demonstrating alignment with observed growth rates and estimating yield turgor pressure and cell wall viscosity, offering a methodology adaptable to other species and conditions.
