A plant signaling gene has been identified as a promising target for breeding cereal crops to produce a steeper, narrower ...

As corn yields climb across the U.S., farmers face a growing challenge: managing the massive amount of crop residue left behind. But within that challenge is an opportunity, according to University of ...

Electrical capacitance techniques offer a non‐invasive means to probe the hidden dynamics of plant root systems. Recent advances have demonstrated that carefully measured electrical properties can ...

While corn is a grass with a fibrous-type root system, some companies are digging deeper to learn more about roots. Generally speaking, those companies classify roots into three types: Fibrous: A mop ...

A plant signalling gene has been identified as a promising target for breeding cereal crops to produce a steeper, narrower root system architecture, but with associated yield penalties in barley.  ...
