| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Root growth is affected by various underground conditions. The growth rate is determined by cell division in the root apex and transition from cell division to cell elongation. In this project, we studied underlying mechanisms to uncover the major machinery controlling root growth in response to external stimuli. We found that cytokinin, one of the phytohormones, promotes transition from cell division to cell elongation, and that MYB3R transcription factor plays an important role in arresting cell division under DNA stress conditions.
