Differential expression and localization of expansins in Arabidopsis shoots: implications for cell wall dynamics and drought tolerance by Darina Balkova, Katerina Mala, Jan Hejatko, Jan Hejatko, Klara Panzarova, Lamis Abdelhakim, Barbora Pleskacova, Marketa Samalova, Marketa Samalova

“…Employing the chemically inducible system pOp6/LhGR for EXPA1 overexpression and high-throughput automatic phenotyping we evaluated the drought response and photosynthetic efficiency under stress conditions. We observed distinct expression patterns of expansins, with EXPA1 primarily localized in stomatal guard cells, while EXPA10 and EXPA15 showed strong cell wall (CW) localization in epidermal and other tissues. …”
