Article Synopsis
- Recent studies sparked renewed interest in hydrotropism, particularly in how roots sense water and the role of auxin, focusing on maize instead of Arabidopsis.
- The research found that the very tip of maize roots is the most sensitive to water stimuli and that hydrotropic bending involves a coordinated change in cell growth and IAA (auxin) distribution.
- Key processes during early hydrotropic response include IAA redistribution and lignin synthesis, showing that maize roots perceive water differently than Arabidopsis.
14-3-3s are highly conserved, multigene family proteins that have been implicated in modulating various biological processes. The presence of inherent polyploidy and genome complexity has limited the identification and characterization of 14-3-3 proteins from globally important Brassica crops. Through data mining of Brassica rapa, the model Brassica genome, we identified 21 members encoding 14-3-3 proteins namely, BraA.
