As the plant root grows, a root cap protects its fragile tip. Every few hours, the old cap is lost and a new one replaces it. Researchers have now, for the first time, observed regular cycles of root ...
A new study combines cell sorting with DNA methylation and RNA profiling to identify novel epigenomic features in plant roots. DNA methylation patterning and the responsible molecular machinery are ...
The effect of the purified host-selective toxin victorin C, a cyclized penta peptide, was compared to that of CCCP and vanadate on membrane functions of susceptible leaves, roots, and single root cap ...
American Journal of Botany, Vol. 104, No. 7 (July 2017), pp. 970-978 (9 pages) PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Root border cells are programmed to separate from the root cap as it penetrates the soil environment ...
A Rutgers study finds that symbiotic bacteria that colonize root cells may be managed to produce hardier crops that need less fertilizer. A Rutgers study finds that symbiotic bacteria that colonize ...
As the plant root grows, a root cap protects its fragile tip. Every few hours, the old cap is lost and a new one replaces it. This has puzzled scientists: how do cells at the tip know when to die, and ...
