With growing populations and pressing environmental problems, future economies will be
increasingly plant-based. Now is the time to reimagine plant science as a critical component …

Tip growth is employed throughout the plant kingdom. Our understanding of tip growth has
benefited from modern tools in molecular genetics, which have enabled the functional …

Roots are important to plants for a wide variety of processes, including nutrient and water
uptake, anchoring and mechanical support, storage functions, and as the major interface …

Drought is a major abiotic stress that threatens maize production globally. A previous
genome‐wide association study identified a significant association between the natural …

Plants impact the development of their rhizosphere microbial communities. It is yet unclear to
what extent the root cap and specific root zones contribute to microbial community assembly …

The aim of this work is to review the current knowledge on the effects of plant metabolism
(C3, C4, and CAM) on root exudation and on the methods of exudate collection as well as …

Both arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and root hairs play important roles in plant uptake of
water and mineral nutrients. To reveal the relative importance of mycorrhiza and root hairs in …

ABSTRACT A pot experiment was used to evaluate the effects of an arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungus (AMF) Funneliformis mosseae on plant growth performance, root-hair growth, and …

The importance of root hairs and root radius for exudation and nutrient acquisition by plants
is known mainly from nutrient solution studies. The in situ effects of root hairs and root radius …

Root hairs are tip-growing extensions from root epidermal cells that play important roles in
nutrient uptake and in plant-soil interactions. In this review, we discuss the major …
