Is there coordination of leaf and fine root traits at local scales? A test in temperate forest swamps

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Examining the coordination of leaf and fine root traits not only aids a better understanding of plant ecological strategies from a whole‐plant perspective, but also helps improve the prediction of belowground properties from aboveground traits.

Components of phenotypic variance and heritability of early vigour traits of bread wheat under contrasting water regimes [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade)
Exploring drought-tolerance potential and phenotypic plasticity at early stages of development in root system architecture could be crucial in regard to breeding for drought resistance and for selecting wheat ideotypes under climate change conditions.

Genomic Regions Influencing Seminal Root Traits in Barley

The Plant Genome, 2016
Water availability is a major limiting factor for crop production, making drought adaptation and its many component traits a desirable attribute of plant cultivars. Previous studies in cereal crops indicate that root traits expressed at early plant developmental stages, such as seminal root angle and root number, are associated ...

Chiral Phase Change Nanomaterials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates reversible, non‐volatile phase transitions in chiral Ge2${\rm Ge}_2$Sb2${\rm Sb}_2$Te5${\rm Te}_5$ (GST) nanohelices for high‐speed optical modulation of chirality and dynamic control of the state of polarization (SOP). The chiral nanostructures are fabricated using a highly directional, wafer‐scale physical vapor deposition ...

Effects of multiple agroecological interventions on crop nutrient acquisition and performance

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
With the growing focus on agroecological interventions in crop production, more studies are required to understand the combined effects of multiple strategies on soil and plant health. In this study, we adopted a functional-trait approach to evaluate the

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Genetic Dissection of Root System Architectural Traits in Spring Barley

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Breeding new crop cultivars with efficient root systems carries great potential to enhance resource use efficiency and plant adaptation to unstable climates. Here, we evaluated the natural variation of root system architectural traits in a diverse spring

Biomimetic Vascular Scaffold with Seamless Electrospun Aligned Nanofiber Conduit and 3D‐Printed Coil Reinforcement

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a new fabrication method that overcomes the current limitation of tubular gap electrospinning. We successfully fabricated a seamless hollow tube with fibers aligned along the longitudinal axis in diameters as small as 300 µm, and then reinforced it using 4‐axis 3D printing.

Variation in root traits and phenotypic plasticity between native and introduced populations of the invasive plant Chromolaena odorata [PDF]

NeoBiota
Understanding intraspecific trait variations, particularly for invasive species that occupy large geographic areas with different resource conditions, can enhance our understanding of plant responses to changes in environmental resources.
