Molecular and physiological characterisation of selected DOF transcription factors in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana
… of their specific expression pattern in the root tip, a region that comprises the stem cell niche and cells for the perception of environmental stimuli. DOF1.2, DOF3.1 and DOF3.5 are previously uncharacterized members of the Arabidopsis DOF-family, while DOF5.2 has been shown to be involved …

CONTROL OF CELL DIVISION AND DIFFERENTIATION IN THE ARABIDOPSIS ROOT - STUDIES ON THE AUXIN RESISTAN 3 (AXR3) GENE
… AUX/IAA proteins, plays a key role in mediating root development and growth. However, it is still not well understood how AUX/IAA proteins coordinates cell division and cell differentiation in the Arabidopsis root. Here, we show that gain-of-function mutations in the AXR3 gene, encoding the …

Extracellular DNA-Based Trapping of Heavy Metals by Root Border Cells
Plant root interactions with biotic and abiotic environmental stressors affect numerous aspects of human and environmental health. Plant root border cells comprise a dynamic barrier that mediates harmful effects to the plant by protecting vulnerable root tips from injury and infection and thereby …

Functional characterisation of NIC2, a member of the MATE family from Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.
… While NIC2 RNAi seedlings produced many lateral roots outgrowing from the primary root and the root-shoot junction, NIC2 overexpression seedlings displayed longer primary roots that were characterised by a 2 to 4 h delay in the gravitropic response. In addition, these lines exhibited an enhanced …

Physiological responses of soybean seeds (Glycine Max L. Merr.) to metal pollutants
… the nutrient solution resulted in reduction in root biomass and pod (and hence seed) production. This effect increased with metal pollutant concentration. Cadmium appeared to be more phytotoxic than Ni and lower concentrations of the former were required elicit an equivalent response. Visual …
