Ghent, November 15, 2024 – Understanding how roots grow can help us develop plants that, for example, are more resistant to drought. Research by Prof. Bert De Rybel’s team (VIB-UGent), in ...
The results of a powerful combination of computer modelling and experimental tests can account for the establishment of gradients of the plant molecule auxin and for major patterning elements in the ...
Secrets about how giant trees grew in reverse can be found in fossil imprints of their roots. Micro-CT scanning shows that ...
Recent efforts to understand how functional traits are organized across land plants have revealed notable patterns across the leaf economic spectrum 5,6, but whether such a high degree of organization ...
Plants and trees extend their roots into the earth in order to draw nutrients and water from the soil—however, these roots are thought to decline as they move deeper underground. But a new study by a ...
Research findings suggest that alternative stable states can be maintained through biotic mechanisms, such as root traits, in addition to the commonly understood abiotic factors like climate. This ...
