Article Synopsis
- Root hairs (RH) play a crucial role in helping plants absorb phosphate in nutrient-limited soils, but the mechanisms behind their growth in response to phosphate starvation are not fully understood.
- The KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2 (KAI2) receptor is essential for RH elongation, interacting with the protein MAX2 to regulate the degradation of SMAX1 family proteins, which are involved in this growth process.
- Research shows that when phosphate levels are low, KAI2 and MAX2 activate signaling pathways that enhance auxin transport in roots, promoting RH growth through an ethylene signaling cascade linked to auxin transport proteins AUX1 and PIN2.
