Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water reserves. The study highlights how ABA and auxin, another key ...
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 ...
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 ...
