For centuries, corn growers have focused almost entirely on what happens above ground in terms of plant health and yield. Today, scientists like Jim Schwartz are looking below ground – in the root ...

As part of an investigation to boost agricultural yields and develop crops that are resilient to climate change, Berkeley Lab scientists have introduced RhizoNet, a computational tool that harnesses ...

To feed a hotter and drier planet, Stanford scientists are building a smarter plant. The team has genetically reprogrammed plants, nurtured in a laboratory chamber, to grow roots that are long or ...

Developed by Berkeley Lab researchers, RhizoNet is a new computational tool that harnesses the power of AI to transform how we study plant roots, offering new insights into root behavior under various ...

• Root citrate exudation is thought to be important for phosphate solubilization. Previous research has concluded that cluster-like roots benefit most from this exudation in terms of increased ...
