Morphological synergism in root hair length, density, initiation and geometry for phosphorus acquisition in Arabidopsis thaliana: A modeling approach
TL;DR: The data support the hypothesis that the responses of root hairs to low phosphorus availability are synergistic, which may account for their coordinated regulation, and confirmed the benefits of increasing root hair density by increasing the number of trichoblast files rather than decreasing the trichoblasts.

Assessment of Inequality of Root Hair Density in Arabidopsis thaliana using the Gini Coefficient: a Close Look at the Effect of Phosphorus and its Interaction with Ethylene
TL;DR: The inequality analysis indicates a strong correlation between prevalent signals from the environment and the response of the plant, and the role of ethylene in this response as indicated by reduced inequality.

Evaluating phosphorus nutritional status of potato by instant testing of petiole phosphate concentration
TL;DR: In this article , a potato plant P diagnosis method with a reflectometer RQflex was used for determining the threshold petiole P level, which can help in developing a viable method for recommending P-fertilizer application rates during potato growth to optimize potato tuber yields.

Regulation of root hair density by phosphorus availability in Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: The results show that phosphorus availability can fundamentally alter root anatomy, leading to changes in root hair density, which are presumably important for phosphorus acquisition.
Regulation of root elongation under phosphorus stress involves changes in ethylene responsiveness.
TL;DR: The root system acclimates to phosphorus deficiency by changing the signal transduction pathway connecting ethylene levels to growth and division, which regulates the maximal rate of relative elongation rather than the size of the growth zone.
