roduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by an NADPH oxidase induces a calcium channel to open and root hair elongation to occur, according to a report from Starting with the rhd2 Arabidopsis mutant, which has stunted root growth and very short root hairs, the authors used transposon-tagging methods to identify the RHD2/AtrbohC gene, which encodes an NADPH oxidase that produces ROS. " When we...
