Functional Descriptions:

• Roothairless5, which functions in maize root hair initiation and elongation encodes a monocot-specific NADPH oxidase.
• The roothairless5 gene controls both root hair length and density.
• The RTH5 gene is preferentially expressed in root hairs.
• The RTH5 protein is localized in epidermal cells of the primary root.
