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.
Biorefining of renewable feedstocks is one of the most promising routes to replace fossil-based products. Since many common fermentation hosts, such as , are naturally unable to convert many component plant cell wall polysaccharides, the identification of organisms with broad catabolism capabilities represents an opportunity to expand the range of substrates used in fermentation biorefinery approaches. The red basidiomycete yeast is a promising and robust host for lipid- and terpene-derived chemicals.
