Root system architecture (RSA) encompasses the three‐dimensional configuration of a plant’s root network, which plays a critical role in water and nutrient uptake, anchorage and overall plant fitness.
New research shows that pairing hybrid root architecture with your tillage system and residue management is a way to grow more bushels.
Aims The architecture of root systems determines where and how much resources plants can extract from the soil, how they compete for soil resources, and how they interact with soil organisms. We aimed ...
A new study uses novel single-cell profiling techniques to reveal how plants add new cell layers that help them resist climate stressors like drought or flooding. The research focuses on corn -- a ...
Plants come in all shapes and sizes, allowing them to fit into unique niches in the landscape, but they can be quite complex organisms. In order to select the most appropriate plants for a given ...
It might sound bizarre, but all the rain many parts of Missouri got this year has primed plants, trees and shrubs for the possibility of drought damage. Roots are the lifeline of a plant, taking up ...
As part of an investigation to boost agricultural yields and develop crops that are resilient to climate change, Berkeley Lab scientists have introduced RhizoNet, a computational tool that harnesses ...
