Swarming behavior in plant roots.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Interactions between individuals that are guided by simple rules can generate swarming behavior. Swarming behavior has been observed in many groups of organisms, including humans, and recent research has revealed that plants also demonstrate social ...

Plant Immunity Is Compartmentalized and Specialized in Roots [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Roots are important organs for plant survival. In recent years, clear differences between roots and shoots in their respective plant defense strategies have been highlighted. Some putative gene markers of defense responses usually used in leaves are less

RUSSELL REVIEW Are plant roots only “in” soil or are they “of” it? Roots, soil formation and function

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, 2022
Roots are near‐ubiquitous components of soils globally but have often been regarded as separate from the soil rather than a substantial factor in determining what soil is and how it functions. The start of rapid soil formation commenced about 400 million

Root morphological and physiological traits are committed to the phosphorus acquisition of the desert plants in phosphorus-deficient soils

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Phosphorus (P) deficiency in desert ecosystems is widespread. Generally, desert species may allocate an enormous proportion of photosynthetic carbon to their root systems to adjust their P-acquisition strategies.

Different Responses of Soil Bacterial and Fungal Communities in Three Typical Vegetations following Nitrogen Deposition in an Arid Desert

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
The effects of increased nitrogen (N) deposition on desert ecosystems have been extensively studied from a plant community perspective. However, the response of soil microbial communities, which play a crucial role in nutrient cycling, to N inputs and ...

Potential antidiabetic phytochemicals in plant roots: a review of in vivo studies

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders, 2021
Medicinal plants are used to treat various disorders, including diabetes, globally in a range of formulations. While attention has mainly been on the aerial plant parts, there are only a few review studies to date that are focused on the natural ...

Phosphorous Supplementation Alleviates Drought-Induced Physio-Biochemical Damages in Calligonum mongolicum

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Calligonum mongolicum is a phreatophyte playing an important role in sand dune fixation, but little is known about its responses to drought and P fertilization.

Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in plant roots research: a review

open access: yesPlant Methods, 2021
Nondestructive testing of plant roots is a hot topic in recent years. The traditional measurement process is time-consuming and laborious, and it is impossible to analyze the state of plant roots without destroying the sample.

Resistance screening of white yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) accessions against Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White, 1919) Chitwood, 1949 using yam vines

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Slovenica, 2022
Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) is an economically important phytoparasitic nematode species. In yam production, therefore, breeding for nematode resistance is an important environmentally friendly tool to manage root-knot nematodes damage ...
