This work focuses on the alterations in soybean root growth and activity during whole plant senescence and the contribution of roots to source-sink relations during plant development. The experiments were designed to analyze ...

Aims Cropping systems using forage grasses as cover crops have been effective in soil conservation and nutrient cycling, but root persistence of ruzigrass (Urochloa ruziziensis) is significant, and may impair root growth ...

Chiselling has been used to alleviate soil compaction but cover crops with deep, vigorous roots can improve root growth and activity of the cash crop for a longer time. The determination of root activity in addition to ...

Soil compaction reduces root growth, affecting the yield, especially in the Southern Coastal Plain of the USA. Simulations of the root restricting layers in greenhouses are necessary to develop mechanisms which alleviate ...

Root hairs are single cells specialized in the absorption of water and nutrients. Growing root hairs requires intensive cell wall changes to accommodate cell expansion at the apical end by a process known as tip growth. ...
