Root system architecture and environmental flux analysis in mature crops using 3D root mesocosms

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Current methods of root sampling typically only obtain small or incomplete sections of root systems and do not capture their true complexity. To facilitate the visualization and analysis of full-sized plant root systems in 3-dimensions, we developed ...

Grapevine adventitious root traits vary based on propagation method

OENO One
Development of new rootstocks is an effective strategy to continue grape production despite increased abiotic stress in a changing climate. We measured an F1 population derived from a cross between a drought resistant (110R) and drought susceptible (101-

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Architectural analysis of plant root systems [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1992
summaryThe techniques of architectural analysis were applied to the root systems of plants growing under field conditions, to determine their validity in this situation and to measure the extent and causes of plasticity and of interspecific differences in root architecture in co‐existing species. In a three‐year study of two species (Trifolium repensL.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

RootTracer: An intuitive solution for root image annotation

Smart Agricultural Technology
Plant phenotyping is essential in agricultural research for identifying resilient traits critical for global food security. Analyzing root growth quantitatively is increasingly vital for evaluating a plant's resilience to abiotic stresses and its ...

Root System Markup Language: Toward a Unified Root Architecture Description Language [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2015
The number of image analysis tools supporting the extraction of architectural features of root systems has increased in recent years. These tools offer a handy set of complementary facilities, yet it is widely accepted that none of these software tools is able to extract in an efficient way the growing array of static and dynamic features for different

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Characterization of wavy root 1, an agravitropism allele, reveals the functions of OsPIN2 in fine regulation of auxin transport and distribution and in ABA biosynthesis and response in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Crop Journal, 2022
Root system architecture is influenced by gravity. How the root senses gravity and directs its orientation, so-called gravitropism, is not only a fundamental question in plant biology but also theoretically important for genetic improvement of crop root ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.
