When facing a volatile climate, nature searches for a way to survive. For plants, that often means spreading new roots deeper and wider in search of water, particularly in times of drought. While ...

Researchers have used 3D live imaging to observe the formation process of lateral roots in plants, and clarified part of the mechanism that creates new meristematic tissue. If the root formation ...

How do plants space out their roots? A Japanese research team has identified a peptide and its receptor that help lateral roots to grow with the right spacing. The findings were published on December ...

The ability of rice plants to modify their root systems to adapt to the surrounding soil water conditions is a great example of a phenomenon called phenotype plasticity. However, the exact mechanism ...

Plants have remarkable stress resistance, owing to the high flexibility in their architecture and growth pattern in response to external conditions. This flexibility is based on the continuous ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The effect of continuous exposure to indol-3-yl acetic acid (IAA) on primordium initiation and their subsequent emergence as lateral roots was ...

• Background and Aims The capacity of a plant to absorb and transport water and nutrients depends on anatomical structures within the roots and their co-ordination. However, most descriptions of root ...

Root pruning from corn rootworm can cause significant yield loss, up to 15% yield loss for every node pruned back to 1.5" of ...
