This study summarizes the current research status of the impacts of crop domestication and improvement on root ...

Severing roots along one side of an already constrained root system inhibits a tree's water and nutrient uptake ability, encourages infection by root diseases, and makes the tree less stable.

Irrigation water high in bicarbonates can wreak havoc on crops, causing soil compaction, blocking plants’ nutrient uptake and eventually killing them. Identifying and treating bicarbonates isn’t easy, ...

Micro- and nanoscale plastic particles in soil and water can significantly increase ... absorbed by the intestinal tissue, with plastic uptake roughly doubling when toxins were present.

The health of wetland plants and the efficacy of water purification are strongly influenced by root-associated bacteria. However, our understanding of the functions of bacterial communities in the ...

It has been proposed that the increase in P uptake by organic acid excretion ... separated from soil and washed with distilled water. Root samples were cleared in 10% KOH and stained with trypan ...

Root systems play a pivotal role in water and nutrient uptake from soil. Lateral root (LR) growth is promoted to compensate for inhibited main root growth. Compensatory LR growth contributes to ...
