(1) Background: Root hairs are specialized structures involved in water and plant nutrient uptake. They elongate from epidermal cells following a complex developmental program. ß-cyanoalanine synthase (CAS), which is mainly involved in hydrogen cyanide (HCN) detoxification in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>, plays a role in root hair elongation, as evidenced by the fact that <i>cas-c1</i> mutants show a severe defect in root hair shape. In addition to root hairs, CAS C1 is expressed in the quiescent ...[more]
