Root causal genes correspond to the initial changes to gene expression that induce a diagnosis and can be reliably detected from bulk RNA-seq after determining a causal ordering from Perturb-seq.

Fluorescent sensors for the hormone abscisic acid have been developed using a high-throughput platform, and used to monitor hormone dynamics in plant roots and leaves.

The recurring application of computational modelling combined with wet lab experiments identify and predict central regulatory parameters and factors for early cell physiological reactions linked to differential brassinosteroid-modified elongation growth in the root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana.

A single-cell RNA sequencing reveals cell heterogeneity of secondary metabolism in tea plant root and a proposed model in which the theanine biosynthesis pathway occurs via multicellular compartmentation.

The SCHENGEN3 protein is needed for the progression of isolated microdomains into a continuous band, which is necessary for the establishment of the major extracellular diffusion barrier in plant roots: the Casparian strip.

The spatial-temporal computer model of plant root meristem combines biomechanics and biochemical scales to reveal design principles underlying cell polarity and anisotropic growth during root development.

Plant roots can rapidly change the acidity of their cell walls and the root-soil interface to efficiently navigate in the soil environment.

Temperature-dependent fasciation mutants of Arabidopsis unexpectedly connect mitochondrial RNA processing to the control of cell proliferation during lateral root morphogenesis via electron transport chain activity and reactive oxygen species production.

A luminescence-based imaging system is presented that allows soil-based environmental stimuli to be studied in root systems under physiologically relevant conditions.

Starvation upregulates activity in certain sensory channels and downregulates it in others in what appears to be an optimization strategy that serves to increase the hedonic value of food odors.
