In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. Root system
architecture (RSA) affects a plant's ability to obtain phosphate, the major form of phosphorus …

A class of hydrophilic polymers known as “hydrogels” have extensive water content and
three-dimensional crosslinked networks. Since the old period, they have been utilized as …

Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) seedlings often need to be grown on sterile media. This
requires prior seed sterilization to prevent the growth of microbial contaminants present on …

Plant submergence is a major abiotic stress that impairs plant performance. Under water,
reduced gas diffusion exposes submerged plant cells to an environment that is enriched in …

To tolerate phosphate (Pi) deficiency in the environment, plants alter their developmental
and metabolic programs. In the past two decades, researchers have extensively used Petri …

Biochar is shown to contain raw carbon nanoparticles (rCNPs). The traditional use of
biochar for the healthy growth of plants is due to its retention capability of nutrients for needs …

In nature roots grow in the dark and away from light (negative phototropism). However, most
current research in root biology has been carried out with the root system grown in the …

Roots anchor plants to the soil, providing them with nutrients and water while creating a
defence network and facilitating beneficial interactions with a multitude of living organisms …
