Root cap transcription factors control directional root growth in Arabidopsis seedlings in response to the plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Achromobacter sp. 5B1.

Abstract excerpt

The root cap protects the meristem as the root grows and senses stimuli such as gravity and nutrient availability. Although it enables tight interaction with the rhizosphere, a role in perceiving microorganisms is unknown. Here, through Arabidopsis direct root inoculation with the plant growth promoting rhizobacterium Achromobacter sp. 5B1, we unveiled a critical, opposite role of two transcription factors, FEZ...
