Differential ethylene sensitivity of epidermal cells is involved in the establishment of cell pattern in the Arabidopsis root.

Abstract excerpt

Root hairs of Arabidopsis roots develop on trichoblasts located over the anticlinal (radial) walls of underlying cortical cells. Non-hair cells, on the other hand, develop on atrichoblasts overlying the periclinal (tangential) walls of cortical cells. Dark-grown wild-type seedlings, which produce little ethylene, are largely root hairless. Exogenous treatment of dark-grown plants with either ethylene or...
