'Root RADAR: how ‘rhizocrine’ signals allow roots to detect and respond to their soil environment and stresses' – Bipin K Pandey et al. doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪

Roots employ several classes of hormones including rhizocrine signals that spend time outside of plant tissues in the rhizosphere. A schematic diagram illustrating (A) a longitudinal cross-section of a root growing in soil, and (B–E) examples of the contrasting modes of action for different hormone classes (denoted as yellow circles) involving (B) autocrine signalling (i.e. acting within the source cell), (C) paracrine signalling (i.e. acting close to the source cell), (D) endocrine signalling (i.e. acting in other organs after long-distance transport), and (E) rhizocrine signalling, where this class of hormone moves outside its root source via the soil (denoted by the blue arrow), returning to the root in response to a soil stress (denoted by the red arrow), triggering an adaptive response, denoted by the green arrow and receptor binding of the hormone signal.
