When my team looked under the microscope for fluorescent auxin markers, we found a lack of regularity in auxin in the parts of the root where its target genes oscillate regularly. This suggests that ...

The mechanical properties of plant roots, including load for failure in tension (F r), tensile strength (T r), tensile strain (ε r), modulus of elasticity (E r), and tensile toughness (W r) (Table S1) ...

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 ...

You probably don’t think about plant roots all that much – they’re hidden underground after all. Yet they’re continually changing the shape of the world. This process happens in your garden, where ...
