Applying imaging technology to plant roots, researchers have developed a new understanding of chemicals that are responsible for plant growth. The chemical 'roadmap' identifies where key molecules are ...

Scientists have determined how the well-known plant hormone ethylene is crucial in controlling the angle at which roots grow. The findings can be used to engineer plants and crops that withstand the ...

Untreated (left) and mebendazole treated (right) seedling of Arabidopsis thaliana growing on the surface of vertical agar plates. While the root branches of the untreated plant point downwards, ...
