Article Synopsis
- Proline influences root meristem size by impacting the balance between cell division and differentiation, as well as modifying superoxide and hydrogen peroxide levels.
- Hydrogen peroxide significantly affects root elongation and shares similar influences with proline on root development.
- Proline metabolism's role in modulating root meristem size involves the enzyme ProDH, which is crucial for hydrogen peroxide production, while proline enhances the activity of antioxidant enzymes like catalase and ascorbate peroxidase to manage hydrogen peroxide levels.
