  1. data indicate that AtRHD6 (At1g66470) and AtRSL1 (At5g37800) are bHLH transcription factors that are specifically required for the development of root hairs and act downstream of the genes that regulate epidermal pattern formation
    [PMID: 17556585]
  2. Expression of BdRSL class I genes in root hairless Arabidopsis thaliana root hair defective 6 (Atrhd6) Atrsl1 double mutants, devoid of RSL class I function, restores root hair development indicating that the function of these proteins has been conserved. However, neither AtRSL nor BdRSL class I genes is sufficient for root hair development in A. thaliana

  3. S-nitrosoglutathione and auxin restored the root hair phenotype of the hairless root hair defective 6 (rhd6) mutant.

  4. ET-activated transcription factor ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE 3 (EIN3) physically interacts with ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE 6 (RHD6), a well-documented positive regulator of hair cells, and that the two factors directly coactivate the hair length-determining gene RHD6-LIKE 4 (RSL4) to promote root hair elongation.
