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 ...

Developed by Berkeley Lab researchers, RhizoNet is a new computational tool that harnesses the power of AI to transform how we study plant roots, offering new insights into root behavior under various ...

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 ...

Spider plant ( Chlorophytum comosum) is a classic houseplant that features long, almost grassy, variegated leaves. "As it ...

Scientists are using artificial intelligence software to analyze plant root systems, laying out a protocol that can be applied to gather data on crop and model plant phenotypes (physical ...

Plants are constantly on guard. Their roots are equipped with molecular alarm systems that detect invading microbes and trigger immune responses. Yet beneficial soil fungi routinely enter living root ...

The plant root system is a complex and dynamic ecosystem that houses a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, archaea, and protists, etc. These microorganisms together form the root ...
