Findings could help wine industry adapt to climate change

While lateral roots comprise the bulk of root length, axial roots function as a scaffold determining the distribution of these laterals.

A French-US team studied whether Arabidopsis in its natural range varies by latitude or from a core to the periphery.

"As water potential is regarded the best indicator of plant water status, because it is the integrated result of above- and below-ground environmental conditions, it holds promise as a pivotal model variable to which other plant processes respond."

Botanists find that during soil drying, stomatal regulation is controlled by below-ground hydraulics in a predictable way.

A successful plant model has now been parameterized to include soybean growth under elevated CO2.

Seed production of flowering plants is influenced by water availability and pollen deposition, but is there an interaction between these factors?

An interactive method for creating and calibrating developmental plant models expressed using L-systems

Heat stress can have transgenerational effects on a plant's offspring but how important are the timing and frequency of these events?

A new model produces 3D trees that are close to reality using predicted data.

Flavonoids help fine-tune a lupin's response to low phosphorus availability.

It's not enough to have phosophorus in the soil, plants have to be able to use it. A new study examines how salinity interacts with the ability to take up phosphorus.
