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.

This article discusses the crucial role of root hairs in water and nutrient uptake from soil and reports no new findings.

In this study, researchers found that the efflux of calcium in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, particularly through the ER-localized ACA2 and ACA7, is crucial for modulating cytoplasmic calcium signals and enabling proper root hair growth, with disruptions leading to impaired elongation.

In this study, researchers showed that the CAP1 gene regulates root hair growth in plants by modulating cytoplasmic ammonium levels and maintaining calcium gradients, highlighting its role in ammonium homeostasis.

This study identified a marked reduction in melanin in the hair of Yorkshire Terriers with Colour Dilution Alopecia and proposed a new pathogenetic mechanism based on these observations.
