Abstract excerpt
Trichomes show 47 morphological phenotypes, while literature reports only two root hair phenotypes in all plants. However, could hair-like structures exist below-ground in a similar wide range of morphologies like trichomes? Genetic mutants and root hair stress phenotypes point to the possibility of uncharacterized morphological variation existing belowground. For example, such root hairs in Arabidopsis...
