MIZ1cytokininsAHKssignal transductioncell divisionRoots exhibit hydrotropism in response to moisture gradients to avoid drought stress. Several proteins have been reported to regulate this process, with MIZU-KUSSEI 1 (MIZ1) being identified as a pivotal regulator. Although most studies on the ...
A previous study of the hydrotropism of primary roots in Arabidopsis thaliana identified the MIZU-KUSSEI (MIZ) 1 and MIZ2 genes as essential for this process. However, despite the important role of lateral roots in water acquisition under water deficient conditions, the mechanism of hydrotropism ...
