Root hair polar growth is endogenously controlled by auxin and sustained by oscillating levels
of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These cells extend several hundred-fold their original …

Root hair size determines the surface area/volume ratio of the whole roots exposed to the
nutrient and water pools, thereby likely impacting nutrient and water uptake rates. The speed …

Proline‐rich extensin‐like receptor kinases (PERKs) belong to the hydroxyproline‐rich
glycoprotein (HRGP) superfamily known to be involved in many plant developmental processes. …

In monogenic autoinflammatory diseases, mutations in genes regulating innate immune
responses often lead to uncontrolled activation of inflammasome pathways or the type I …

Double heterozygosity pathogenic variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are a very rare
finding, particularly in non-Ashkenazi individuals. We described the first case of double …

Root hairs are single cells that develop by tip growth, a process shared with pollen tubes,
axons, and fungal hyphae. However, structural plant cell walls impose constraints to …

Mutants of the O-glycosylation pathway of extensins as well as molecular dynamics
simulations uncover the effects of the O-glycosylation machinery on root hair tip growth.

Here, we examined by which mechanism root hairs integrate conflicting growth-signals like
the repressive high Pi-level clue and a concomitant high auxin exposure that should promote …

The significance and often centrality of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-and redox-related
signaling are now established for most processes in plant development and acclimation. Each …

Root system architecture results from a highly plastic developmental process to adapt to
environmental conditions. In particular, the development of lateral roots and root hair growth are …
