Abstract: Suboptimal nitrogen availability is a primary constraint to plant growth. We used OpenSimRoot, a functional-structural plant/soil model, to test the hypothesis that larger root cortical cell size (CCS), reduced cortical cell file number (CCFN), and… read more here.

Abstract: The diversity of synchronized neuronal groups provides a challenge for brain theories. Here, the authors report that group size grows quadratically with duration in line with predictions for neuronal avalanches and brain dynamics being critical.… read more here.

Abstract: Analysis of biosynthesis genes identifies de novo biosynthesis of a cortical cytokinin pool during nodule development. Legume mutants have shown the requirement for receptor-mediated cytokinin signaling in symbiotic nodule organogenesis. While the receptors are central… read more here.

DOI: 10.1104/pp.19.00262
Abstract: Genotypic diversity and phenotypic plasticity in root cortical cell diameter play key roles in reducing energy costs of root growth under high soil penetration resistance. Root growth requires substantial amounts of energy and thus carbohydrates.… read more here.
