A plant signaling gene has been identified as a promising target for breeding cereal crops to produce a steeper, narrower ...

Electrical capacitance techniques offer a non‐invasive means to probe the hidden dynamics of plant root systems. Recent advances have demonstrated that carefully measured electrical properties can ...

A plant signalling gene has been identified as a promising target for breeding cereal crops to produce a steeper, narrower root system architecture, but with associated yield penalties in barley.  ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory has launched a novel robotic platform to rapidly analyze plant root systems as they grow, yielding AI-ready data to accelerate the development of stress-tolerant crops ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water reserves. Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their ...
