Other claims from this paper (6)
- Mechanism KAI2 signaling alone regulates root hair density and length in Arabidopsis.
- Mechanism KAI2 signaling alone regulates root skewing, straightness and diameter in Arabidopsis.
- Mechanism Both KAI2 and D14 pathways regulate lateral root density and epidermal cell length.
- Observation No evidence supported a non-canonical KAI2 receptor-target mechanism in root development.
- Mechanism Canonical SMAX1/SMXL2 activity explained all KAI2 effects in the root.
- Observation The study found evidence for non-canonical GR24 ligand-receptor interactions in D14/KAI2-mediated root hair development.
