The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has launched a novel robotic platform to rapidly analyze plant root systems as they grow, yielding AI-ready data to accelerate the development ...

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 ...

SAN DIEGO — A recent study is signaling to scientists that controlling the growth direction of a plant's root could conserve crops and lead to ideal plants for fighting global warming. There is a ...

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 ...

Plus, how to prevent and treat it.

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 ...

Plants are constantly on guard. Their roots are equipped with molecular alarm systems that detect invading microbes and ...

Vegetative reproduction from stems, roots and leaves is common to all plants and results in an identical plant from which the cutting came; it’s a clone. As gardeners, we propagate cuttings for many ...
