Low Phosphate Puts Auxin in the Root Hairs

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2018.07.009Get rights and content

The molecular changes that allow plant roots to response to low phosphate levels are poorly understood. A series of three papers investigate this phenomenon and reveal which components of the auxin response are key for transmitting the phosphate signal into changes in root hair phenotypes.
