and one of our goals at GIFS is to develop better roots in crops that contribute to global food security,” said Tokizawa. Plants absorb more nitrogen than any other nutrient, which is why ...

Plants utilize a rapid "molecular switch" in their roots that enables them to sense dry soils and redirect their growth to ...

In soil, nitrogen (N), an essential macronutrient for plant growth, exhibits significant spatial heterogeneity. This necessitates plants to grapple with a complex array of environmental conditions ...

Compacted soil, caused by foot traffic, equipment, or vibrations, prevents air, water, and nutrients from reaching plant roots. Signs of compacted soil include difficulty inserting a screwdriver ...

We check the tag for the plant’s light and moisture requirements and mature size. We also need to think about what is going to be happening below ground once the plant takes hold. Roots absorb ...

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water reserves. Plant scientists from the University of Nottingham, ...
