Scientists discover tiny hooked hairs on plant roots that help seedlings survive drought, absorb nutrients, and resist stress ...
Scientists found a new gene that controls suberin, a layer in plant roots that helps manage water flow efficiently.
Scientists have discovered, for the first time, how root cells respond to their complex soil environment, revealing that roots actively "sense" their microenvironment and mount precise, cell-specific ...
Researchers have captured time-lapse videos of stem cells dividing in growing plant roots. By watching how the cells divide in response to certain chemical signals over time, the team is uncovering ...
The green signal shows that CKL2 interacts with a 14-3-3 protein at the membranes in root cells colonized by a fungus. The pink signal (in the cell nucleus) is a control to confirm that the cell is ...
Discover the cause behind root-bound seedlings and how to save them before it's too late. Sowing seeds too early is the ...
DURHAM, N.C. -- It might look like a comet or a shooting star, but this time-lapse video is actually a tiny plant root, not much thicker than a human hair, magnified hundreds of times as it grows ...
