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-specific ...
An artistic fusion of spatial transcriptomic landscapes from longitudinal and transverse rice root sections. Colours indicate distinct cell types, while dots represent detected mRNA molecules, ...
American Journal of Botany, Vol. 104, No. 7 (July 2017), pp. 970-978 (9 pages) PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Root border cells are programmed to separate from the root cap as it penetrates the soil environment ...
Scientists have developed a toolbox of transcriptional regulators for plants and show that they can be used to construct synthetic genetic circuits that predictably modify root growth. Their work is ...
