October 2020 in “Agronomy” This study provides evidence that root hairs significantly enhance phosphorus uptake in barley when phosphorus availability is limited in the root zone.
157 citations
,
October 2003 in “Development” This study found that different stabilizing mutations in Aux/IAA proteins affect root hair development in Arabidopsis by disrupting the auxin response and suggest a model where the relative abundance of these proteins determines root hair initiation.
30 citations
,
July 2021 in “Annals of Botany” This study observed that maize plants enhance phosphorus acquisition by promoting both root hair growth and lateral root development in response to localized nutrient patches, highlighting a complementary root trait trade-off.

March 2012 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” In this study, researchers found that overexpression of the hairless protein in Hr mutant mice disrupts inner root sheath formation by downregulating Dlx3 and associated keratins in hair follicle development.
November 2023 in “Journal of plant nutrition and soil science” This study observed that maize plants, including a root hairless mutant variety, did not exhibit typical root growth or compensatory foraging behavior under severe boron deficiency in soil, indicating atypical responses compared to other plants.
