August 2022 in “Plant Signaling & Behavior” This study investigated the impact of different growth media on the root hair development of Arabidopsis thaliana by using 18 different media combinations. The research highlighted the sensitivity of root hairs to environmental changes, which complicates phenotype comparisons. The study found that certain media combinations led to the formation of the longest root hairs, which grew to a final length of approximately 0.6 mm at a distance of about 4 mm from the root tip, maintaining a constant growth rate through tip growth.
September 2023 in “Plant journal” A protein called GIS3 is important for the growth of root hairs in Arabidopsis by controlling two genes with the help of certain growth signals.
January 2006 in “Xibei zhiwu xuebao” The study investigated the effects of 17 α-ethinylestradiol, norethindrone, and levonorgestrel on the root growth of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. Norethindrone at 30 μg·L~(-1) significantly promoted taproot growth and increased lateral root number and length, while 17 α-ethinylestradiol at 3,000 μg·L~(-1) caused taproot bending. Norethindrone was most effective at 300 μg·L~(-1), enhancing taproot length and lateral root development, but at 3,000 μg·L~(-1), it inhibited root-hair growth. Levonorgestrel was highly active, promoting taproot and root-hair growth at 3 μg·L~(-1), and at 300 μg·L~(-1), it increased lateral root number and root hair density. However, at 3,000 μg·L~(-1), it inhibited taproot and lateral root growth.
