Tremendous progress has been made with continually expanding genomics technologies to
unravel and understand crop genomes. However, the impact of genomics data on crop …

The current trend towards linking stomata regulation to plant hydraulics emphasizes the role
of xylem vulnerability. Using a soil–plant hydraulic model, we show that xylem vulnerability …

Plants forage soil for water and nutrients, whose distribution is patchy and often dynamic. To
improve their foraging activities, plants have evolved mechanisms to modify the …

Root elongation in drying soil is generally limited by a combination of mechanical
impedance and water stress. Relationships between root elongation rate, water stress …

Despite often being conceptualized as a thin layer of soil around roots, the rhizosphere is
actually a dynamic system of interacting processes. Hiltner originally defined the …
