Root systems can display variable architectures that contribute to survival strategies of
plants. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana possesses a tap root system, in which the …

Auxin is a crucial phytohormone that has various effects on the regulators of plant growth
and development. Auxin signal transduction is mainly controlled by two gene families: auxin …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic factors threatening food security worldwide. Recently, our
understanding of early processes underlying salinity tolerance has expanded. In this review …

Nonenzymatic lipid oxidation is usually viewed as deleterious. But if this is the case, then
why does it occur so frequently in cells? Here we review the mechanisms of membrane …

The developmental plasticity of the root system represents a key adaptive trait enabling
plants to cope with abiotic stresses such as drought and is therefore important in the current …

Root system architecture is an important determinant of below-ground resource capture and
hence overall plant fitness. The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in almost every …

The Arabidopsis root has been the subject of intense research over the past decades. This
research has led to significantly improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms …

Nitrate is both a nitrogen source for higher plants and a signal molecule regulating their
development. In Arabidopsis, the NRT1. 1 nitrate transporter is crucial for nitrate signaling …

A plant's roots system determines both the capacity of a sessile organism to acquire
nutrients and water, as well as providing a means to monitor the soil for a range of …

Roots are important to plants for a wide variety of processes, including nutrient and water
uptake, anchoring and mechanical support, storage functions, and as the major interface …
