The objective of this study was to determine how adjustment in stomatal conductance (gs) and turgor loss point (Ψ tlp) between riparian (wet) and neighboring slope (dry) populations of Acer ...

The effect of mutual shading on the root/shoot ratio and on the number of nodal roots of maize was studied. Plants of two varieties (Dea and LG2281) were grown in individual pots of 9 L, at three ...

Add this universal truth to biology textbooks: the mass of a plant's leaves and stems is proportionally scaled to that of its roots in a mathematically predictable way, regardless of species or ...

Researchers lift the veil on the 'conductor' plant root stem cell gene that helps orchestrate and coordinate stem cell division of different root stem cell types, ensuring the harmonic communication ...

Plant nanobionics aims to embed non-native functions to plants by interfacing them with specifically designed nanoparticles. Here, we demonstrate that living spinach plants (Spinacia oleracea) can be ...

An explanation of why roots are important to a plant. An ecologist, Dawn, shows a pot plant with restricted room for its roots, which are all knotted together. Dawn explains how roots anchor a plant ...
