Roots of the Second Green Revolution (2007, background): “Root hairs are subcellular protrusions of root epidermal cells that are important for the acquisition of immobile nutrients such as phosphorus by expanding the volume of soil subject to phosphorus depletion through diffusion to the root surface (Fig. 7, Clarkson 1985; Peterson and Farquhar 1996; Jun”
ROOT STRATEGIES FOR PHOSPHORUS ACQUISITION (2008, background): “Root hairs are subcellular protrusions of root epidermal cells that are important for the acquisition of relatively immobile nutrients such as P (Clarkson 1985; Peterson and Farquhar 1996; Jungk 2001).”
Plant and microbial strategies to improve the phosphorus efficiency of agriculture (2011, background): “Root hairs Root hairs are important for the acquisition of poorly mobile nutrients such as orthophosphate (Clarkson 1985; Jungk 2001; Peterson and Farquhar 1996).”
Root Development and Nutrient Uptake (2006, background): “Root hairs are tubular extensions of epidermal cells that have their origin in protoderm cells, including specialized protoderm cells called trichoblasts (Peterson and Farquhar, 1996).”
