The summit of roots of various plant species may be occupied by a single, rapidly proliferating tetrahedral apical cell (as in ferns), or by a multicellular and slowly proliferating quiescent centre ...

Adventitious roots (prop roots, stilt roots) of P. auritum are dimorphic, with differences in form, structure, and orientation between above-ground and subterranean portions.

Stanford, CA-- Plants form a vast network of below-ground roots that search soil for needed resources. The structure and function of this root network can be highly adapted to particular ...

Plants form a vast network of below-ground roots that search soil for needed resources. The structure and function of this root network can be highly adapted to particular environments such as ...

Plants using C4 photosynthesis grow 20-100 percent quicker than more common C3 plants by altering the shape, size and structure of their leaves and roots, according to a new study.

The depth and spread of roots are dependent on a plant’s growth characteristics and the soil’s texture and structure. Roots require adequate oxygen in soil to function.

In the current study, we tested the role of the plant circadian clock in determining rhizosphere community structure and function, where function was measured as plant performance.

This illustrates how structure determination is essential in establishing evolutionary links between proteins in which structure and function have been conserved through eons of evolution despite ...
