Principal growth directions in development of the lateral root in Arabidopsis thaliana.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS During lateral root development a new meristem is formed within the mother root body. The main objective of this work was to simulate lateral root formation in Arabidopsis thaliana and to study a potential role of the principal directions in this process. Lateral root growth is anisotropic, so that three principal directions of growth can be distinguished within the organ. T...
متن کاملRoot Hair Growth in Arabidopsis thaliana
We study the factors that affect the root hair growth in the Arabidopsis thaliana plant. From experimental data, we measure how the average velocities of growth and tip shapes of the root hairs are affected by pressure and nutrients. Then using a biomechanical model, we can compute the physical parameters of the root hair and aim to correlate our model with experiments by using image processing...
متن کاملMechanical induction of lateral root initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Lateral roots are initiated postembryonically in response to environmental cues, enabling plants to explore efficiently their underground environment. However, the mechanisms by which the environment determines the position of lateral root formation are unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that in Arabidopsis thaliana lateral root initiation can be induced mechanically by either gravitropic c...
متن کاملLateral root initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana: a force awakens
Osmotically driven turgor pressure of plant cells can be higher than that of a car tire. It puts tremendous forces onto cell walls and drives cell growth and changes in cell shape. This has given rise to unique mechanisms to control organ formation compared to metazoans. The fascinating interplay between forces and local cellular reorganization is still poorly understood. Growth of lateral root...
متن کاملDissecting Arabidopsis lateral root development.
Recent studies in the model plant Arabidopsis provide new insight into the regulation of root architecture, a key determinant of nutrient- and water-use efficiency in crops. Lateral root (LR) primordia originate from a subset of pericycle founder cells. Sophisticated mass-spectroscopy-based techniques have been used to map the sites of biosynthesis of auxin and its distribution in Arabidopsis s...
