From seed to harvesting turnip root with visible soil cross section over 55 days time lapse. The sampling seed was chosen ...

An autoradiographic method for studying the distribution of the root system in the root space is described. Subsequent to radioactive labelling (³²P, ³³P, ³⁵S) of the living part of the root system, ...

The research team from the University of Kansas performed genetic analysis on both microbes and plants to better understand ...

Shot through a soil cross section, the footage shows how the bean first bursts and sprouts roots, before a stem and plant shoots out above the surface. The amazing video was captured by Lithuanian ...

Nothing looks prettier than a snow-covered tree in winter. Beneath the surface, however, that same tree could be suffering ...

The roots of your tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants need plenty of room to grow, but compacted soil can limit their ability to produce healthy fruit and also promote pathogens. When tomato plants ...

Researchers discovered that soil microbes in Kansas carry drought “memories” that affect how plants grow and survive. Native plants showed stronger responses to these microbial legacies than crops ...

Since the 1980s, scientists have known fine roots (< 2 mm) are critical to ecosystem carbon cycling, with research long suggesting their contribution to soil carbon accrual may exceed that of ...

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 ...
