Isotope-based visualization of element distribution in phloem provides functional evidence for the operation of SOS1 Na+/H+ exchangers in mature zones of Arabidopsis root

The paper uses radioisotope imaging and ion flux measurements to show that Na+ efflux via SOS1 occurs in mature root zones, not just the root apex, in Arabidopsis.

Computational modeling and quantitative cell physiology reveal central parameters for the brassinosteroid-regulated early cell physiological processes linked to elongation growth of the Arabidopsis root

The paper uses computational modeling and quantitative cell physiology to identify key parameters and components involved in brassinosteroid-regulated cell elongation in Arabidopsis root epidermis.
