Root traits are multidimensional: specific root length is independent from root tissue density and the plant economic spectrum [PDF]
Summary Root, stem and leaf traits are thought to be functionally coordinated to maximize the efficiency of acquiring and using limited resources. However, evidence is mixed for consistent whole‐plant trait coordination among woody plants, and we lack a clear understanding of the adaptive value of root traits along soil resource gradients.

Increased Electron Density of Tonoplast Membranes in Washed Corn Root Tissue [PDF]
Washing corn (Zea mays L.) root segments for 4 hours results in increased tonoplast electron density in fixed and stained tissue. It suggested that previously reported increases in solute absorption rate with root tissue washing may lie with changes in the properties of the tonoplast.

Associations of Muscle and Adipose Tissue with Bone Mineral Density in Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Women Undergoing Physical Examination [PDF]
Background The associations of muscle and adipose tissue with bone mineral density (BMD) in perimenopausal women has been studied, but there are differences in site distribution, which lead to that the effect of muscle and adipose tissue on BMD and the ...

Periodontitis is typically associated with disorders characterized by compromised tooth-supporting tissue. Damage to periodontal tissue is caused by an imbalance between matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors. Decreased tissue inhibitor and elevated matrix metalloproteinase levels result in collagen connective tissue and bone degradation ...

Macrophomina phaseolina: density and longevity of microsclerotia in soybean root tissues and free on the soil, and competitive saprophytic ability [PDF]
In field experiments, the density of Macrophomina phaseolina microsclerotia in root tissues of naturally colonized soybean cultivars was quantified. The density of free sclerotia on the soil was determined for plots of crop rotation (soybean-corn) and soybean monoculture soon after soybean harvest. M.
