May 2008 in “Plant journal” This study found that D'orenone blocks root hair growth by increasing PIN2 protein abundance, leading to reduced auxin concentration, but external auxin can reverse these effects.
122 citations
,
May 2010 in “Plant Physiology” This study found that expressing certain PIN proteins in Arabidopsis root hairs inhibited growth by decreasing auxin levels, while PIN5 slightly stimulated growth, demonstrating differential effects on auxin transport.
35 citations
,
September 2012 in “PloS one” This study found that in Arabidopsis seedlings, tonoplast intrinsic proteins are targeted to the vacuole via at least two pathways, including pathways with differing sensitivity to a chemical inhibitor that affect root hair growth and PIN2 targeting.
31 citations
,
January 2021 in “Plants” This study found that light and sucrose have opposing effects on root length but collectively enhance root hair emergence and elongation in plant roots.
28 citations
,
December 2018 in “Plant, cell & environment/Plant, cell and environment” This study found that the PLC2 gene plays a critical role in auxin-mediated root development in Arabidopsis, influencing root growth and PIN2 distribution.
