Membrane trafficking meets root barriers, resilience, and carbon storage 🌱🌍
New discovery: Blocking clathrin-mediated endocytosis in Arabidopsis roots sparks ROS bursts → ectopic suberization. This might unlock ways to increase suberization in roots and C in soils

Looking for some clarity in the labyrinth of terms regarding lateral root initiation (priming, founder cell specification, pre-branch sites, oscillation zone, root clock,...)? Here is our new paper hopefully bringing some light in the darkness:

Marker-assisted in vivo imaging reveals pre-patterning events prior to lateral root organogenesis
The branching pattern of the Arabidopsis root is established as early as in the distal tip of the primary root.
