Root volatiles in plant-plant interactions II: Root terpenes from Centaurea stoebe modify Taraxacum officinale root chemistry and root herbivore growth [PDF]
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plant roots can influence the germination and growth of neighboring plants. However, little is known about the effects of root VOCs on plant-herbivore interactions.

Transcriptions of ACO and ACS genes are involved in nitrate-dependent root growth of maize seedlings
Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is one of the major objectives for crop breeding. As nitrate signaling plays pivotal roles in nitrogen use of plants, factors in this pathway might be valuable for improving the NUE of maize.

Allelopathic effects and weed suppressive ability of cover crops
Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the weed suppressing effects of cover crops in single and mixed cultivation. Weed densities in the field experiments ranged from 0 to 267 plants/m2 with Chenopodium album L., Matricaria ...

Shoot yield drives phosphorus use efficiency in Brassica oleracea and correlates with root architecture traits [PDF]
The environmental and financial costs of using inorganic phosphate fertilizers to maintain crop yield and quality are high. Breeding crops that acquire and use phosphorus (P) more efficiently could reduce these costs.

The MADS-box genes SOC1 and AGL24 antagonize XAL2 functions in Arabidopsis thaliana root development
MADS-domain transcription factors play pivotal roles in numerous developmental processes in Arabidopsis thaliana. While their involvement in flowering transition and floral development has been extensively examined, their functions in root development ...

Effects of pressure on the root systems of Norway spruce plants (Picea abies[L.] Karst.)
Roots are stressed quire often under natural conditions, e.g. when considering sloping terrain, layers of fluvial deposits, huge layers of melting snow, load of heavy forest machinery during logging and hauling operations, recreational activities of ...

Root growth model for simulation of plant root system and numerical function optimization
This paper presents the study of modelling root growth behaviours in the soil. The purpose of the study is to investigate a novel biologically inspired methodology for optimization of numerical function. A mathematical framework is designed to model root

ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Root developmental responses to heterogeneous water and nitrogen supply [PDF]
Better understanding of the interaction between the soil physical properties determining water and nitrate availability and the root proliferation and gene expression components of nutrient acquisition could contribute to food security, but may have been

Modelling diverse root density dynamics and deep nitrogen uptake — a simple approach [PDF]
We present a 2-D model for simulation of root density and plant nitrogen (N) uptake for crops grown in agricultural systems, based on a modification of the root density equation originally proposed by Gerwitz and Page in J Appl Ecol 11:773–781, (1974). A
