New research shows that pairing hybrid root architecture with your tillage system and residue management is a way to grow more bushels.

Untreated (left) and mebendazole treated (right) seedling of Arabidopsis thaliana growing on the surface of vertical agar plates. While the root branches of the untreated plant point downwards, ...

Salinity of the soil is highly detrimental to plant growth. Plants respond by a redistribution of root mass between main and lateral roots, yet the genetic machinery underlying this process is still ...

Scientists have determined how the well-known plant hormone ethylene is crucial in controlling the angle at which roots grow. The findings can be used to engineer plants and crops that withstand the ...

Biologists have discovered a cellular transporter that links two of the most powerful hormones in plant development -- auxin and cytokinin -- and shows how they regulate root initiation and ...
