von Wirén. Such local ammonium depots have been shown to enhance lateral root formation of field-grown crops as well as the mobilization and uptake of co-supplied phosphate. "Since local ...

The researchers explored this organ development using a model legume, Lotus japonicus, and found that this happened via a gene involved in the formation of lateral roots. Typically, plants develop ...

This process—called lateral root formation—is initiated deep within the primary root from a small subset of pericycle cells 1. The growth of a new LRP coincides with its emergence through the ...

Scientists have discovered a rapid molecular switch in plant roots that allows them to detect dry soils and redirect root ...

Along with sugar reallocation, a basic molecular mechanism within plants controls the formation of new lateral roots. An international team of plant biologists has demonstrated that it is based on ...

Screening of a diverse collection of chemicals led to the identification of naxillin, which is to our knowledge the first non-auxin-like synthetic molecule that induces lateral root formation.

Plants utilize a rapid "molecular switch" in their roots that enables them to sense dry soils and redirect their growth to ...

Subscribe for FREE Secondly, the sucrose that is transported to the tip of the root then regulates the production of the plant hormone auxin. This hormone drives the rate of formation of new lateral ...

A gene involved in the development of lateral roots is found to play a role in the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules ...

Salmonella could not induce lateral root formation in thale cress. The study found under the same conditions, a plant with more lateral roots harbored a greater concentration of Salmonella than ...

Plants exposed to strangers had greater lateral root formation than the plants that were exposed to siblings. Further, when sibling plants grow next to each other, their leaves will often touch ...
