July 13, 2025

Weiwei Zhang and Chris Staiger are co-authors on a new publication in the New Phytologist with findings that propose MLO’s act downstream of FER to mediate Ca++ influx and promote ROS production to regulate root hair tip growth:

Ogawa, S.T., W. ZhangP, C.J. Staiger, and S.A. Kessler. 2025. MLO-mediated Ca2+ influx regulates root hair tip growth in Arabidopsis. New Phytol, July 13, 2025. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.7037
