Cadmium and arsenic affect root development in Oryza sativa L. negatively interacting with auxin [PDF]

, 2018
Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As), non essential, but toxic, elements for animals and plants are frequently present in paddy fields. Oryza sativa L., a staple food for at least the half of world population, easily absorbs As and Cd by the root, and in this ...

Untapping root system architecture for crop improvement [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2016
Drought leads to greater yield loss in crops than any other abiotic stress. Roots form a plant’s first line of defense against water deficit, and in this issue Gao and Lynch (pages 4533–4546) report that fewer but longer crown roots facilitate water acquisition from subsoil and thus improve drought tolerance in maize.

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.

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-

Heuristic Aspect of the Lateral Root Initiation Index: A Case Study of the Role of Nitric Oxide in Root Branching

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2013
Premise of the study: Lateral root (LR) initiation (LRI) is a central process in root branching. Based on LR and/or LR primordium densities, it has been shown that nitric oxide (NO) promotes LRI.

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 ...

A scanner system for high-resolution quantification of variation in root growth dynamics of Brassica rapa genotypes [PDF]

, 2014
The potential exists to breed for root system architectures that optimize resource acquisition. However, this requires the ability to screen root system development quantitatively, with high resolution, in as natural an environment as possible, with high

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.

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 ...

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.
