A theoretical model for ROP localisation by auxin in Arabidopsis root hair cells. by Robert J H Payne, Claire Suzanne Grierson

“…Although a number of molecules affecting Rho-of-Plants small GTPase (ROP) signalling are known, it remains unclear how ROP activity becomes spatially organised. Arabidopsis root hair cells produce patches of ROP at consistent and predictable subcellular locations, where root hair growth subsequently occurs.…”
