Adventitious root formation is a critical process in plant regeneration whereby roots develop from non‐root tissues, such as stems or leaves. This phenomenon underpins vegetative propagation ...

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.

Advanced imaging techniques have revolutionized the study of plant development and function, providing unprecedented insights into the intricate processes that occur at various structural levels, from ...

Along with sugar reallocation, a basic molecular mechanism within plants controls the formation of new lateral roots. An international team of plant biologists has demonstrated that it is based on the ...

Researchers who manipulate lignin, a molecular fiber that allows plants to grow tall and transport water, unexpectedly discovered its synthesis has more far-reaching effects on plant development than ...

How do plants regenerate roots from scratch after being wounded? In this study, scientists used spatial transcriptomics and time-series gene expression analysis to trace poplar root regeneration from ...

Along with sugar reallocation, a basic molecular mechanism within plants controls the formation of new lateral roots. Botanists have demonstrated that it is based on the activity of a certain factor, ...

The field of plant science has long been intrigued by the adaptive responses of roots to environmental cues. Due to their ...

It might sound bizarre, but all the rain many parts of Missouri got this year has primed plants, trees and shrubs for the possibility of drought damage. Roots are the lifeline of a plant, taking up ...

You can’t construct a strong building on a weak foundation, and you can’t grow a great corn crop on a weak root system. From freezing temperatures to voracious ...
