Abstract excerpt
Root hairs (RHs) are single-celled elongated epidermal cells and play a vital role in nutrient absorption, particularly for immobile minerals like phosphorus (P). As an adaptive response to P deficiency, an increase in RH length enhances root-soil contact and absorptive area for P absorption. Genetic variations have been reported for RH length and its response to P deficiency in plants. However, only a few...
