Abstract excerpt
In Arabidopsis, mutation of RHD1, a UDP-glucose-4-epimerase, causes root-specific phenotypes, including hypersusceptibility to the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii, increased root hair elongation, decreased root length, and root epidermal bulging. Previous experiments suggested that increased ethylene sensitivity or production mediated the rhd1-4 phenotypes. In the present study, double mutant analyses revealed...
