How does water move through plants to get to the top of tall trees? Here we describe the pathways and mechanisms driving water uptake and transport through plants, and causes of flow disruption.

In ecosystems around the world, fungi play crucial roles in supporting plant life. Their ability to form connections between ...

Developmental patterns of lateral roots and their vascular differentiation were investigated for Vitis vinifera L. cv. Shiraz to assess the likely contribution of lateral roots to total water uptake ...

Root hairs represent a low-cost strategy to enhance nutrient uptake because they can significantly increase the nutrient-acquiring surface of plant roots. While primary and lateral roots are ...
