This relentless tug of war loosened root systems forming air pockets and tearing root tissue. If you had plants which ...

Scientists have discovered, for the first time, how root cells respond to their complex soil environment, revealing that roots actively "sense" their microenvironment and mount precise, cell ...

New single-cell analysis provides detailed first look at plant roots' protective outer layer and carbon-capturing cells Date: January 9, 2025 Source: Salk Institute Summary: ...

Scientists at IISER Pune have identified key mechanisms that enable plants to regrow damaged parts, maintaining their original shape and function.

Researchers have captured time-lapse videos of stem cells dividing in growing plant roots. By watching how the cells divide in response to certain chemical signals over time, the team is ...

Transpiration, the process of plants releasing water vapor, is crucial for plant cooling but can lead to dehydration in extreme heat. Continuously high nighttime temperatures exacerbate plant stress ...

Whether in the roots, branches, flowers or leaves, virtually all tissues of a plant descend from small groups of unspecialized stem cells that produce new cells by dividing.

The findings were published in Developmental Cell on January 9, 2025. "Plants play a crucial role in capturing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it in the soil," says Professor Wolfgang Busch ...
