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 ...

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear can be devastating for athletes, but other injuries can accompany ACL tears and may worsen knee instability. A sports medicine expert at Baylor College of ...

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 ...

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 ...
