Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of polyhydroxylated plant steroid hormones that are
crucial for many aspects of a plant's life. BRs were originally characterized for their function …

Growth is a widely used term in plant science and ecology, but it can have different
meanings depending on the context and the spatiotemporal scale of analysis. At the …

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) shows remarkably rapid growth (114.5 cm/day), but the
underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. After examining more than 12,750 …

The rhizosphere is arguably the most complex microbial habitat on earth, comprising an
integrated network of plant roots, soil and a diverse microbial consortium of bacteria …

Ammonium is a major inorganic nitrogen source for plants. At low external supplies,
ammonium promotes plant growth, while at high external supplies it causes toxicity …

The balance between cellular proliferation and differentiation is a key aspect of development
in multicellular organisms. Using high-resolution expression data from the Arabidopsis root …

The loss of organic and inorganic carbon from roots into soil underpins nearly all the major
changes that occur in the rhizosphere. In this review we explore the mechanistic basis of …

The Arabidopsis root has been the subject of intense research over the past decades. This
research has led to significantly improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms …

Plant root development is informed by numerous edaphic cues. Phosphate (Pi) availability
impacts the root system architecture by adjusting meristem activity. However, the sensory …

Plants use nitrate and ammonium as major nitrogen (N) sources, each affecting root
development through different mechanisms. However, the exact signaling pathways …
