A two-year study of wheat root architecture and nitrogen-processing enzymes across soil depths shows that moderate fertilizer ...

Root system architecture (RSA) underpins the capacity of crop plants to explore soil for water and nutrients, anchor the shoot, and interact with microbial communities. RSA encompasses the spatial ...

Root system architecture (RSA) plays a pivotal role in plant yield, shaped by evolution and ecological adaptations for effective nutrient and water uptake and abiotic stress resistance. Current ...

In soil, nitrogen (N), an essential macronutrient for plant growth, exhibits significant spatial heterogeneity. This necessitates plants to grapple with a complex array of environmental conditions in ...

The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has launched a novel robotic platform to rapidly analyze plant root systems as they grow, yielding AI-ready data to accelerate the development ...
