The volume flux, $J_{v}$, and the osmotic driving force, σΔπ, across excised root systems of Zea mays were measued as a function of ΔP, the hydrostatic pressure ...
Background and aims Root length density (RLD) is a parameter that is difficult to measure, but crucial to estimate water and nutrient uptake by plants. In this study a novel approach is presented to ...
International research led by Colorado State University suggests that studying root function in tropical forests could improve predictions of climate change. In a study published Feb. 28 in New ...
It is easy to study what you can see. Researchers know a lot about how plants work aboveground, but what happens out of sight under the surface may control more than we once thought. It is easy to ...
