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: Introduction The root cortex plays a critical role in water uptake and metabolic activity, directly influencing root functionality. However, despite melatonin’s known role in plant stress tolerance, its mechanisms in modulating root cortical anatomy and… read more here.
