The effect of amorphous silica on soil–plant–water relations in soils with contrasting textures

Scientific Reports
This study investigates how amorphous silica (ASi) influences soil–plant–water interactions in distinct soil textures. A sandy loam and silty clay soil were mixed with 0 and 2% ASi, and their impact on soil retention and soil hydraulic conductivity ...

Local Fractal Dimensions and Multifractal Analysis of the Root System of Legumes

Plant Production Science, 2000
The fractal dimension (D) is the main concept of fractal geometry. D may have the potential to describe morphology in overall terms for root systems quantitatively.

Characterization of Root and Shoot Traits in Wheat Cultivars with Putative Differences in Root System Size

Agronomy, 2018
Root system size is a key trait for improving water and nitrogen uptake efficiency in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). This study aimed (i) to characterize the root system and shoot traits of five wheat cultivars with apparent differences in root system ...

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Descendant root volume varies as a function of root type: estimation of root biomass lost during uprooting in Pinus pinaster

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Root systems of woody plants generally display a strong relationship between the cross-sectional area (CSA) or cross-sectional diameter (CSD) of a root and the dry weight of biomass (DWd) or root volume (Vd) that has grown (i.e., is descendent) from that

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

The kiwifruit (Actinidia sp.) vine root system: Responses to vine manipulations

, 2012
The root system is a significant component of whole-plant biomass in kiwifruit vines and is likely to be a considerable carbohydrate sink. Seasonal trends in root growth were investigated to infer seasonal fluctuations in root carbohydrate demand.

Non-invasive techniques for investigating and modelling root-feeding insects in managed and natural systems [PDF]

, 2007
1 Root‐feeding insects are now considered to play a greater role in ecosystem processes than previously thought, yet little is known about their specific interactions with host plants compared with above‐ground insect herbivores.

Declining citrus root systems: Relationship of root systems to top growth and production investigated in citrus orchard rejuvenation program studies

California Agriculture, 1956
The decline of citrus root systems is one of the more serious current problems in production and fruit size. During the past few years, quantitative information has been accumulating on the extent of citrus root decline and its relationship to growth and

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
