Abstract

Penetration capacity is a central root phenotype for enhancing rooting into compacted soils and improving abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants, but the molecular mechanisms are unclear. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Xu et al. demonstrate the vital role of the FER-PIF3-PIEZO circuitry in controlling primary root penetrability into compacted substrates.

摘要

渗透能力是增强作物扎根紧实土壤和提高非生物胁迫耐受性的核心根系表型，但分子机制尚不清楚。在本期《发育细胞》中，Xu 等人证明了 FER-PIF3-PIEZO 电路在控制主根穿透紧实基质中的重要作用。
