A new study, published today in Science, indicates that the potential for soils to soak up atmospheric carbon dioxide is strongly affected by how long roots live. Large differences in root replacement ...

Nitrate transport in excised corn (Zea mays L.) roots was inhibited by phenylglyoxal, but not by 4,4′-diisothiocyano-2,2′-stilbene disulfonic acid (DIDS) or fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).

Atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine] uptake from solution by excised velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic.) root segments was studied. Initial atrazine absorption by 1-cm ...

Healthy plant roots are the foundation of vigorous plant growth, nutrient uptake and overall crop productivity. Strong root systems support water absorption and resilience against environmental stress ...
