A gene that regulates the development of roots in vascular plants is also involved in the organ development of liverworts—land plants so old they don't even have proper roots. The Kobe University ...

Plants have remarkable stress resistance, owing to the high flexibility in their architecture and growth pattern in response to external conditions. This flexibility is based on the continuous ...

Root hairs are tubular outgrowths of specialised epidermal cells that dramatically increase the absorptive surface area of plant roots. Development begins with positional specification within the root ...

The interaction between Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) and surrounding mesenchymal cells is crucial for root dentin formation. HERS influences tooth root development and odontoblast ...
