Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the role of three MADS-box genes in primary root development, which have been less studied compared to their well-documented functions in flowering transition and floral development.
- - Researchers used loss-of-function and overexpression lines to find that two of these genes, critical in flowering, act as repressors of primary root growth, with loss of function leading to increased root growth and improved cell characteristics in a short-root mutant.
- - Additional analyses revealed distinct transcriptional regulation of these genes in roots compared to aerial tissues, identifying 100 differentially expressed genes related to cell differentiation and stress responses, which normalized in the absence of certain gene functions.
