Legumes are unique among higher plants in forming a symbiosis with Rhizobium. Phylogenetic studies indicate this symbiosis may have evolved as many as three times within the Fabaceae; alternatively, a ...

The root is crucial for the physiological function of the tooth, and a healthy root allows an artificial crown to function as required clinically. Tooth crown development has been studied intensively ...

The establishment of a mature root system is achieved through repetitive branching of the primary root. This process—called lateral root formation—is initiated deep within the primary root from a ...

The tooth root, together with the surrounding periodontium, maintains the tooth in the jaw. The root develops after the crown forms, a process called morphogenesis. While the molecular and cellular ...

The inter-relationship of auxin treatment and etiolation, in their effect on adventitious root formation, was investigated in stem cuttings of the difficult-to-root cultivar of apple `Bramley's ...

Since every process in lateral root development, including initiation, emergence and elongation is governed by auxin, the question arises of how auxin responds to the local presence of ammonium which ...

Along with sugar reallocation, a basic molecular mechanism within plants controls the formation of new lateral roots. Botanists have demonstrated that it is based on the activity of a certain factor, ...

Researchers have used 3D live imaging to observe the formation process of lateral roots in plants, and clarified part of the mechanism that creates new meristematic tissue. If the root formation ...
