Lateral roots in Arabidopsis arise from specialised cells in the pericycle layer of the primary root and represent a finely tuned developmental process that underpins overall plant architecture.

The ability of rice plants to modify their root systems to adapt to the surrounding soil water conditions is a great example of a phenomenon called phenotype plasticity. However, the exact mechanism ...

Plant roots are organised into distinct domains that coordinate nutrient uptake, anchorage and environmental sensing. Their development is orchestrated by a network of genes that regulate cell ...
