Effect of Pruning Young Branches on Fruit and Seed Set in Cassava
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Flowering in cassava is closely linked with branching. Early-flowering genotypes branch low and abundantly. Although farmers prefer late flowering genotypes because of their erect plant architecture, their usefulness as progenitors in breeding is limited

The importance of sucrose synthase for AM symbiosis in maize, in pea and in Medicago [PDF]
, 2002 The arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is probably the most widespread symbiotic associations on earth, occurring in the roots of about 90 % of the land plant species. The fungal partners are soil-borne fungi of the order Glomales in the phylum of Glomero.

Magnitude and determinants of plant root hydraulic redistribution: A global synthesis analysis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Plant root hydraulic redistribution (HR) has been widely recognized as a phenomenon that helps alleviate vegetation drought stress. However, a systematic assessment of the magnitude of HR and its drivers at the global scale are lacking.

A model for water uptake by plant roots. [PDF]
, 2004 We present a model for water uptake by plant roots from unsaturated soil. The model includes the simultaneous flow of water inside the root network and in the soil.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Embryonal tumors comprise the majority of malignant central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms diagnosed in children under 3 years of age. Compared with their counterparts in older children, these tumors exhibit distinct molecular biology and a more aggressive clinical phenotype, while their management is complicated by the heightened ...

The Role of Roots in Plant Defence
, 2012 Roots play an important role for plant defence and resistance against pathogens and insect herbivores: They act as environmental sensors for space, nutrients and water, they are important biosynthetic sites of plant toxins, they can store assimilates for

Cation transporters in cell fate determination and plant adaptive responses to a low-oxygen environment [PDF]
, 2022 Soil flooding creates low-oxygen environments in root zones and thus severely affects plant growth and productivity. Plants adapt to low-oxygen environments by a suite of orchestrated metabolic and anatomical alterations.
