Abstract excerpt
We identified an Arabidopsis mutant, incomplete root hair elongation (ire), whose root hairs are about 40% shorter than the wild type owing to the early cessation of their growth. In contrast, the hy5 mutant has root hairs about twice as long as the wild type, possibly because of delayed cessation of growth. Thus IRE and HY5 are likely to modify the duration of growth of root hairs. We cloned the IRE locus using...
