Peptides fulfill a plethora of functions in plant growth, development, and stress responses.
They act as key components of cell-to-cell communication, interfere with signaling and …

Plant nitrogen (N), acquired mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium from soil, dominates
growth and development, and high-yield crop production relies heavily on N fertilization. The …

Plants uptake nitrogen (N) from the soil mainly in the form of nitrate. However, nitrate is often
distributed heterogeneously in natural soil. Plants, therefore, have a systemic long-distance …

Nitrogen (N) is a critical nutrient for plants but is often distributed unevenly in the soil. Plants
therefore have evolved a systemic mechanism by which N starvation on one side of the root …

Cell-to-cell signaling is essential for many processes in plant growth and development,
including coordination of cellular responses to developmental and environmental cues …

Understanding how predation risk and plant defenses interactively shape plant distributions
is a core challenge in ecology. By combining global positioning system telemetry of an …

The symbiosis between legumes and nitrogen fixing bacteria called rhizobia leads to the
formation of root nodules. Nodules are highly organized root organs that form in response to …

Root plasticity is an important trait for plants to forage nutrient and adapt to survival in a
complicated environment. Lateral roots (LRs) are generally more sensitive than primary …
