Salinity is detrimental to plants and developmental adjustments limiting salt uptake and
transport is therefore important for acclimation to high salt. These parameters may be influenced …

Roots attach plants to the ground and ensure efficient and selective uptake of water and
nutrients. These functions are facilitated by the morphological and anatomical structures of the …

Cell walls surround all plant cells, and their composition and structure are modified in a tightly
controlled, adaptive manner to meet sometimes opposing functional requirements during …

Plants display remarkable abilities to adjust growth and development to environmental
conditions, such as the amount of available water. This developmental plasticity is apparent not …

The plant root xylem comprises a specialized tissue for water distribution to the shoot.
Despite its importance, its potential morphological plasticity in response to environmental …

Periods of drought, that threaten crop production, are expected to become more prominent
in large parts of the world, making it necessary to explore all aspects of plant growth and …

The postembryonic formation of lateral roots (LRs) starts in internal root tissue, the pericycle.
An important question of LR development is how the connection of the primary root …

People have grafted plants since antiquity for propagation, to increase yields and to improve
stress tolerance. This cutting and joining of tissues activates an incredible regenerative …
