Phosphorus is essential for undisturbed plant growth and development. However, in many soils, phosphorus is only poorly available. One mechanism used by plants to increase phosphorus availability is ...

It's still a bit of a mystery, but recent research is giving us new insights. What we do know is this oscillation is a basic mechanism underlying the growth of roots. If we better understood this ...

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 ...

Roots play a critical role to reduce the impact of water stress on plants by adapting their shape (such as branching or growing deeper) to secure more water. Discovering how plant roots sense and ...
