Description
At the root tips of the mustard plant Arabidopsis thaliana (cell walls shown in red), two proteins work together to control the uptake of water and nutrients. When the cell division-promoting protein 'SHORTROOT' (SHR) moves from the center of the tip outward, it triggers the production of another protein (blue) that confines 'Short-root' to the nutrient-filtering endodermis. See Fig 3C in H Cui et al. 2007 Science 316, 421-425
