The root hair development of vascular plants can be divided into 2 major processes, fate determination and hair morphogenesis, and the latter should be governed by the former so as to express the morphogenetic toolkits in a root hair-specific manner. Vascular plants, depending on taxa, show different fate-determining mechanisms for hair cell/non-hair cell fates, which leads to a question whether the downstream mophogenetic regulatory module is diverged accordingly to the upstream fate determiners or not. Our study demonstrates that the module of a transcription factor and a root hair-specific cis-element (RHE) for root hair-specific expression of morphogenetic toolkit genes is conserved in spite of different fate-determing mechanisms.

Plant growth depends on growth regulators, nutrient availability, and amino acids levels, all of which influence cell wall formation and cell expansion. Cell wall integrity and structures are surveyed and modified by a complex array of cell wall integrity sensors, including LRR-extensins (LRXs) that bind RALF (rapid alkalinization factor) peptides with high affinity and help to compact cell walls. Expressing the Arabidopsis root-hair specific LRX1 without the extensin domain, which anchors the protein to the cell wall, has a negative effect on root hair development.

Compacted soil layers adversely affect rooting depth and access to deeper nutrient and water resources, thereby impacting climate resilience of crop production and global food security. Root hair plays well-known roles in facilitating water and nutrient acquisition. Here, we report that root hair also contributes to root penetration into compacted layers.

Root hairs (RHs), extensive structures of root epidermal cells, are important for plant nutrient acquisition, soil anchorage, and environmental interactions. Excessive production of the phytohormone ethylene (ET) leads to substantial root hair growth, manifested as tolerance to plant nutrient deficiencies. However, the molecular basis of ET production during root hair growth in response to nutrient starvation remains unknown.

Background: Alopecia is a dermatological condition affecting genders, negatively impacting their personality and quality of life (QoL). The current approved entities are limited, inconsistently effective, and associated with negative side effects. To alleviate this issue, ayurvedic herbs such as Ashwagandha have being explored.

Root hairs play crucial roles in the roots, including nutrient uptake, water assimilation, and anchorage with soil, along with supporting rhizospheric microorganisms. In rice, ammonia uptake is mediated by a specialized ammonium transporter (AMT). AMT1;1, AMT1;2, and AMT1;3 have been extensively studied in relation to nitrogen signaling.
