Root systems can display variable architectures that contribute to survival strategies of
plants. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana possesses a tap root system, in which the …

Nanoparticle transport into plants is an evolving field of research with diverse applications in
agriculture and biotechnology. This article provides an overview of the challenges and …

We present a theory in which the choice set cues a consumer to recall a norm, and surprise
relative to the norm shapes his attention and choice. We model memory based on Kahana …

Root system architecture is an important determinant of below-ground resource capture and
hence overall plant fitness. The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in almost every …

Rhizobial bacteria enter a symbiotic association with leguminous plants, resulting in
differentiated bacteria enclosed in intracellular compartments called symbiosomes within …

The developmental plasticity of the root system represents a key adaptive trait enabling
plants to cope with abiotic stresses such as drought and is therefore important in the current …

In multicellular organisms, a stringent control of the transition between cell division and
differentiation is crucial for correct tissue and organ development. In the Arabidopsis root …

The architecture of the branched root system of plants is a major determinant of vigor. Water
availability is known to impact root physiology and growth; however, the spatial scale at …

A plant's roots system determines both the capacity of a sessile organism to acquire
nutrients and water, as well as providing a means to monitor the soil for a range of …

Nitrate is both a nitrogen source for higher plants and a signal molecule regulating their
development. In Arabidopsis, the NRT1. 1 nitrate transporter is crucial for nitrate signaling …
