Abstract excerpt
Root hairs, tubular extensions of the rhizodermal cells, facilitate nutrient uptake, yet their role in water acquisition remains debated and may be species- and soil-specific. To elucidate the genetic basis of root hair development and assess their physiological relevance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), particularly under water-limited conditions, we characterized a mutant with a changed root hairs phenotype. The...
