Abiotic stresses increasingly threaten existing ecological and agricultural systems across the
globe. Plant roots perceive these stresses in the soil and adapt their architecture …

Increasing soil salinization largely impacts crop yield worldwide. To deal with salinity stress,
plants exhibit an array of responses, including root system architecture remodelling. Here …

Different plant species within the grasses were parallel targets of domestication, giving rise
to crops with distinct evolutionary histories and traits. Key traits that distinguish these species …

The periderm acts as armor protecting the plant's inner tissues from biotic and abiotic stress.
It forms during the radial thickening of plant organs such as stems and roots and replaces …

Root responses to environmental stresses show a high level of cell type and developmental
stage specificity. Interactions with beneficial and pathogenic organisms–including microbes …

Plants continuously form new organs in different developmental contexts in response to
environmental cues. Underground lateral roots initiate from prepatterned cells in the main …

With growing populations and pressing environmental problems, future economies will be
increasingly plant-based. Now is the time to reimagine plant science as a critical component …

Climate change is driving extreme changes to the environment, posing substantial threats to
global food security and bioenergy. Given the direct role of plant roots in mediating plant …

Translation is a crucial step in gene expression and plays a vital role in regulating various
aspects of plant development and environmental responses. It is a dynamic and complex …

Growth-and health-promoting bacteria can boost crop productivity in a sustainable way.
Pseudomonas simiae WCS417 is such a bacterium that efficiently colonizes roots, modifies …
