The rate with which crop yields per hectare increase each year is plateauing at the same
time that human population growth and other factors increase food demand. Increasing yield …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential but generally limiting nutrient for biological systems.
Development of the Haber-Bosch industrial process for ammonia synthesis helped to relieve …

The effects of plants on the biosphere, atmosphere and geosphere are key determinants of
terrestrial ecosystem functioning. However, despite substantial progress made regarding …

Inferring phenotypic outcomes from genomic features is both a promise and challenge for
systems biology. Using gene expression data to predict phenotypic outcomes, and …

Background Suboptimal nitrogen availability is a primary constraint for crop production in
low-input agroecosystems, while nitrogen fertilization is a primary contributor to the energy …

Maintaining assimilates metabolism is critical for root and shoot normal function, especially
during drought. However, little is known about how plants coordinate assimilates transport …

Roots are the interface between the plant and the soil and play a central role in multiple
ecosystem processes. With intensification of agricultural practices, rhizosphere processes …

Roots anchor plants to the soil, providing them with nutrients and water while creating a
defence network and facilitating beneficial interactions with a multitude of living organisms …

High-throughput phenoty** (HTP) platforms are capable of monitoring the phenotypic
variation of plants through multiple types of sensors, such as red green and blue (RGB) …

Root respiration is essential for nutrient acquisition. The respiration rate of absorptive roots
theoretically relates to the economics of carbon‐nutrient exchange, but its empirical role …
