Short Peptides Induce Development of Root Hair Nicotiana tabacum

Fedoreyeva LI, Chaban IA, Kononenko NV · Plants

Short peptides changed root-hair development and cell differentiation in tobacco. It is one of the few papers pursuing the short-peptide gene-regulation idea with no author from the originating institute.

Population

Nicotiana tabacum root cultures

Intervention

Short peptides of the same series (AEDL and relatives)

Comparator

Untreated cultures

Limitations

A plant model says nothing about human cartilage; the group has co-published with the originating institute on other papers, so 'independent' here means the author list of this paper, not the research network.
