Modulating the root elongation by phosphate/nitrogen starvation in an OsGLU3 dependant way in rice

Plant Signal Behav. 2012 Sep 1;7(9):1144-5. doi: 10.4161/psb.21334. Epub 2012 Aug 17.

Abstract

Previously, we showed that OsGLU3, a β-1,4-endoglucanase, can affect the cellulose synthesis for root elongation in rice. And the phosphate starvation induced root elongation in rice depends on the function of OsGLU3. Here, we further showed that OsGLU3 is also dispensable for nitrogen starvation induced root elongation in rice.
