TL;DR: Misexpression of TMO5 and LHW in the entire root meristem was found to increase root hair density, a phenotype resembling wild-type roots grown under phosphate-limiting conditions, and the response of epidermal cells to phosphate deficit was shown to be TMO4-dependent, indicating that the TMO 5-dependent increase in root hairdensity under low-phosphate conditions occurs through a cell nonautonomous effect.

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of recent findings on how cytokinin influences growth and development in plants is given, and areas for future research are highlighted.

TL;DR: RCD1 integrates organellar signaling from chloroplasts and mitochondria to establish transcriptional control over the metabolic processes in both organelles, and is linked to chloroplast signaling by 3-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphate (PAP).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, during meristematic patterning, xylem-pole-associated endodermal cells can dynamically alter passage-cell numbers in response to nutrient status, and that passage cells express transporters and locally affect the expression of transporators in adjacent cortical cells.

TL;DR: The results suggest that DOF2.1 and its closest homologs control vascular cell proliferation, thus leading to radial expansion of the root.
