Root system architecture is an important determinant of below-ground resource capture and hence overall plant fitness. The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in almost every facet of root development from the cellular to the whole-root-system level.

Root development: New meanings for root canals? [PDF]
During Arabidopsis root development, a radial pattern of tissues is extended by the meristem. These tissues form continuous layers and recent data suggest that tissue continuity is instrumental for constraining the direction of signaling in a process termed channeling.

Roots Redefined: Anatomical and Genetic Analysis of Root Development [PDF]
The postembryonic development of plants is fueled by apical meristems, which are the local production sites of new cells that form a pattern of different cell types within an organ. The regularity of this pattern in the root yielded ideas on its formation from the meristem well before critical studies on the shoot apex were performed (e.g.

Alternative Polyadenylation and Salicylic Acid Modulate Root Responses to Low Nitrogen Availability
Nitrogen (N) is probably the most important macronutrient and its scarcity limits plant growth, development and fitness. N starvation response has been largely studied by transcriptomic analyses, but little is known about the role of alternative ...

Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential macronutrients, whose deficiency limits the growth and development of plants. In this study, we investigated the possible role of GmWRKY46 in the phosphate (Pi) starvation stress tolerance of soybean.

Micromechanics of root development in soil [PDF]
Our understanding of how roots develop in soil may be at the eve of significant transformations. The formidable expansion of imaging technologies enables live observations of the rhizosphere micro-pore architecture at unprecedented resolution. Granular matter physics provides ways to understand the microscopic fluctuations of forces in soils, and the ...

Phosphate sensing in root development [PDF]
Phosphate (Pi) and its anhydrides constitute major nodes in metabolism. Thus, plant performance depends directly on Pi nutrition. Inadequate Pi availability in the rhizosphere is a common challenge to plants, which activate metabolic and developmental responses to maximize Pi usage and acquisition.

Potassium in Root Growth and Development [PDF]
Potassium is an essential macronutrient that has been partly overshadowed in root science by nitrogen and phosphorus. The current boom in potassium-related studies coincides with an emerging awareness of its importance in plant growth, metabolic functions, stress tolerance, and efficient agriculture.

Influence of soil bulk density on shoot and root traits of crotalaria
The selection of cover crop species with high potential for root growth in dense layers of soil can help in the management of agricultural systems through biological soil unpacking.
