Histidine (His) is an essential ingredient for protein synthesis and is required by all living organisms. In higher plants, although there is considerable evidence that His is essential for plant growth and survival, there is very little information as to whether it plays any specific role in plant development. Here, we present evidence for such a role of this amino acid in root development in Arabidopsis...
