The field of plant science has long been intrigued by the adaptive responses of roots to environmental cues. Due to their ...
Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water reserves. Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their ...
Electrical capacitance techniques offer a non‐invasive means to probe the hidden dynamics of plant root systems. Recent advances have demonstrated that carefully measured electrical properties can ...
As a botanist and extension agent, I think quite a bit about how plants grow. Understanding the method to their madness helps to explain and diagnose the various concerns of citizens that come our way ...
Ghent, Belgium – VIB researchers at Ghent University have discovered the substance that governs the formation of root offshoots in plants, and how it works. Root offshoots are vitally important for ...
As part of an investigation to boost agricultural yields and develop crops that are resilient to climate change, Berkeley Lab scientists have introduced RhizoNet, a computational tool that harnesses ...
Frost heave is caused by the soil freezing and thawing in winter, and it damages plant roots. You can prevent frost heave by planting early and mulching.
