TL;DR: It is shown here that RHD2 is an NADPH oxidase, a protein that transfers electrons from NADPH to an electron acceptor leading to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and that ROS accumulate in growing wild-type (WT) root hairs but their levels are markedly decreased in rhd2 mutants.

TL;DR: This review describes the early steps of the interaction between rhizobia and legumes that result in the formation of a nitrogen-fixing nodule and focuses on the role of specific lipooligosaccharides secreted by Rhizobia in the induction of these early steps.

TL;DR: This study focuses on mutations at the other two loci, Sad3 and Sad4, which result in stunted root growth, membrane trafficking defects in the root epidermis, and root hair deficiency, and various lines of evidence indicate that these effects are dosage-dependent.

TL;DR: Schizoriza (scz), a mutant with defective radial patterning, has two distinct roles: (1) it acts as a suppressor of epidermal fate in the ground tissue, and (2) it is required to repress periclinal divisions in the meristem.

TL;DR: High throughput screening is carried out to identify mutants of diploid oat (Avena strigosa) that are blocked in the early steps of triterpene synthesis and shows that mutants that are affected in the first committed step in synthesis of beta-amyrin-derived triterpenes, and so are unable to cyclise 2,3-oxidosqualene to beta- amyrin (sad1 mutants), accumulate elevated levels of primary sterols.
