Combining experimentally measured single root phene datasets with a 3D continuum multiscale soilroot model enhances the mechanistic insights in soil-root processes that are important for water and P uptake.
While carnivorous plants eat insects, they get most of their energy from photosynthesis, like other plants. New research investigates how carnivory affects photosynthesis.
Secondary growth of the roots of annual dicots has functional significance with regards to soil resource acquisition and transport, interactions with soil organisms and carbon sequestration.
