Measuring Plant Root Growth

2008
Plants represent a significant part of our natural environment and their detailed study becomes more and more interesting (also economically) because of their importance for mankind as a source of food and/or energy. One of the most characteristic biological processes in plant life is their growth; it serves as a good indicator for the compatibility of

Plant Roots and Soil Structure

2011
There exists significant evidence in the literature that soil structure and plant roots can barely be considered separate entities. Plant root form, length distributions, radius distributions, branching, and overall plant vigor have all be demonstrated to be heavily influenced by soil structure.

Calcium Supply to Plant Roots

Science, 1968
Direct observations of the calcium-45 distribution around the roots of plants growing in soil showed a pattern in direct contrast to that predicted from calculations based on the calcium concentration of the soil solution, transpiration rates, and plant calcium content.

Swarm intelligence in plant roots

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2010
Swarm intelligence in animals and humans has recently been reviewed [1]. These authors posited that swarm intelligence occurs when two or more individuals independently, or at least partly independently, acquire information that is processed through social interactions and is used to solve a cognitive problem in a way that would be impossible for ...

Analysis of plant root electropotentials

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1972
Abstract A model is proposed for the analysis of steady-state electropotentials in plant roots. The radial element of this model is discussed in terms of two parallel pathways, i.e. the symplasm and the extracellular space. The symplasm pathway is treated as a system of three compartments in series.

Transport across plant roots

Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics, 1982
The plant root is a complex system that has evolved under the constraints of a number of functions. It is a pressure-probe that can penetrate the soil; it is a scavenger of nutrients that may be either tightly bound to soil particles or in low concentrations in the soil solution; it is an absorber of water from the soil.
