Functional morphological patterns in root apices of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) dependent on growth, ageing and infection by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae and/or by the ...

In soil, nitrogen (N), an essential macronutrient for plant growth, exhibits significant spatial heterogeneity. This necessitates plants to grapple with a complex array of environmental conditions in ...

Root system architecture (RSA) encompasses the three‐dimensional configuration of a plant’s root network, which plays a critical role in water and nutrient uptake, anchorage and overall plant fitness.

Lynette Abbott examines how the rhizosphere, a narrow collar of soil clinging to plant roots, is emerging as a key player in soil and plant health ...

Roots are one of the most vital parts of a plant’s system. They are what anchors the entire plant to the earth, bad roots equal a bad plant. Without roots a plant cannot support itself. Without roots ...

Scientists have created the first single cell genomic atlas of mature plants' outer armor layer, called the periderm, and its carbon-capturing phellem cells. The findings will be useful in creating ...
