The exploitative segregation of plant roots (ESPR) is a theory that uses a game-theoretical model to predict plant root foraging behavior in space. The original model returns the optimal root distribution assuming exploitative ...

Abstract How roots detect and respond to the presence of neighbors is relevant to understand plant belowground interactions. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of the presence of neighboring plants and ...

The root-locus method is a well-known and commonly used tool in control system analysis and design. It is an important topic in introductory undergraduate engineering control disciplines. Although complementary root locus ...

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 ...

Introduction. Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus) is an exotic fruit species little known in Brazil and which needs basic studies about plant nutrition, propagation and physiology. Emphasizing the co-existence of juvenile and adult ...

Despite the fact that they are sessile organisms, plants actively move their organs and also use these movements to manipulate the surrounding biotic and abiotic environments. Plants maintain communication with neighboring ...
