Observations of root hair patterning in soils: Insights from synchrotron-based X-ray computed microtomography
Background And AimsRoot hair emergence is affected by heterogeneities in water availability in the growth medium. Root hairs preferentially emerge...

Modelling root–soil mechanical interaction considering root pull-out and breakage failure modes
AimsIn the finite element method, the mechanical behaviour of plant roots has been modelled by solid element or embedded beam element (EBE). However,...

Quantification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi root colonization in wheat, tomato, and leek using absolute qPCR
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbioses with most terrestrial plants and are known to have a positive effect on plant growth and health....

Cellular clarity: a logistic regression approach to identify root epidermal regulators of iron deficiency response
BackgroundPlants respond to stress through highly tuned regulatory networks. While prior works identified master regulators of iron deficiency...

Improving rice nitrogen-use efficiency by modulating a novel monouniquitination machinery for optimal root plasticity response to nitrogen
Plant nitrogen (N)-use efficiency (NUE) is largely determined by the ability of root to take up external N sources, whose availability and...
