BACKGROUND Although plants are dependent on the capture of a number of elemental
nutrients from the soil, the principal nutrients that limit plant productivity are nitrogen (N) and …

Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. Root system
architecture (RSA) affects a plant's ability to obtain phosphate, the major form of phosphorus …

INTRODUCTION In plants, vascular tissues serve a dual function by providing both structural
support and transport of water, nutrients, hormones, and other signaling molecules …

Optimal plant development requires root uptake of 14 essential mineral elements from the
soil. Since the bioavailability of these nutrients underlies large variation in space and time …

摘要植物激素是指植物通过自身代谢产生的, 在很低浓度下就能产生明显生理效应的一些有机
信号分子, 在植物生长发育及环境响应过程中具有至关重要的作用. 中国科学家利用植物组织离 …

The main functions of plant roots are water and nutrient uptake, soil anchorage, and
interaction with soil-living biota. Root hairs, single cell tubular extensions of root epidermal …

Root hair polar growth is endogenously controlled by auxin and sustained by oscillating
levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These cells extend several hundred-fold their …

In early seedlings, the primary root adapts rapidly to environmental changes through the
modulation of endogenous hormone levels. The phytohormone ethylene inhibits primary …
