Scientists have developed two powerful molecular tools that reveal how plants and fungi coordinate one of Earth’s oldest biological partnerships.

A plant’s root system has a profound effect on its overall health. Look at the roots of a sick, struggling plant, and you will often see a sick, struggling root system. While plants may tolerate ...

Root systems of all types connect plants to the soil and are a key function in sustaining life on earth. Roots are one of the many organs in plants of all types, trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, ...

Researchers have discovered a protein that seals plant roots to regulate the uptake of nutrients and water from the soil, the discovery could help develop climate proof crops that require less water ...

Plant species vary greatly in how efficiently they convert sunlight into organic matter, how fast they reproduce, how much nutrients and water they need, how much carbon they store, or how fast their ...

Another main benefit of bare roots is that because you receive them when they’re in a dormant state, you can plant them ...

Highly developed seed plants evolved deep root systems that are able to sense Earth's gravity. The 'how and when' of this evolutionary step has, until now, remained unknown. Plant biologists have ...

When looking at forests, we hardly get to see beyond a bunch of green. However, for a plant ecologist, forests represent a much more complex world consisting of different species. This diversity of ...

A newly published study from the University of Guam sheds light on a tiny but powerful ally in the soil and how it could help ...
