Scientists have developed a toolbox of transcriptional regulators for plants and show that they can be used to construct synthetic genetic circuits that predictably modify root growth. Their work ...

Plant and Soil publishes original papers and review articles exploring the interface of plant biology and soil sciences, and offering a clear mechanistic component. This includes both fundamental and ...

In this survey of root tip structure in vascular plants it is found that the three dermal layers, epidermis, hypodermis and endodermis, and the root cap, except where a calyptrogen is present, are ...
