A transcription factor with a bHLH domain regulates root hair development in rice

摘要：

@@ Dear Editor,
In plants,root hairs are important organs for the uptake of nutrients and water from the rhizosphere and serve as sites of interaction with soil microorganisms [1].A root hair grows as an extension of a single epidermal cell and is a simple system,making it an elegant model for studying higher plant cell differentiation and cell fate determination.Three types of root hair pattern have been suggested [2,3].Arabidopsis has the striped pattern(Type 3)of root hairs,which has been extensively reported [4,5].Type 2 patterns depend on asymmetrical cell division,which is found in rice(Oryza sativa L.),Barley(Hordeum vulgare)and wheat(Triticum aestivum).
