Root Biology News: Is the elongation of Arabidopsis roots influenced by the tides and Earth's magnetic field?
http://www.rootbiologynews.com/2013/05/is-elongation-of-arabidopsis-roots.html
Is the elongation of Arabidopsis roots influenced by the tides and Earth's magnetic field? In Annals of Botany, ". Root elongation growth is sensitive to lunisolar tidal acceleration. And may also be weakly correlated with geomagnetic variations. Figure from Annals of Botany, cited above.

Root Biology News: Root-knot nematodes induce plants to form new vascular structures
http://www.rootbiologynews.com/2013/12/root-knot-nematodes-induce-plants-to.html
Root-knot nematodes induce plants to form new vascular structures. Bartlem, et al., recently published " Vascularization and nutrient delivery at root-knot nematode feeding sites in host roots. The process of root-knot nematode parasitism, from Bartlem, et al., 2013. The changes to xylum (Xy) and phloem (Ph) are the focus of this article. The vessels form cages around the giant cells to which the nematode is attached. Image from Bartlem, et al., 2013. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Roots are an impo...

Root Biology News: Root exuded carbon is taken up by bacteria and bacterial DNA turns over faster than fatty acids in soil
http://www.rootbiologynews.com/2015/05/root-exuded-carbon-is-taken-up-by.html
Root exuded carbon is taken up by bacteria and bacterial DNA turns over faster than fatty acids in soil. In a recent article in Frontiers in Microbiology. Malik and colleagues highlight that rhizosphere. Microbial cellular components have variable C turnover. The study shows that bacterial C turnover is higher in nucleic acids. 19 h for RNA and 30 h for DNA) than in membrane phospholipid fatty acids. 42 d) The authors used a pulse-chase. Plant labeling experiment and traced the. As a solicited RhizoView.

Root Biology News: 3D simulation modeling of root system architecture is an indispensable tool for understanding root function
http://www.rootbiologynews.com/2013/06/3d-simulation-modeling-of-root-system.html
3D simulation modeling of root system architecture is an indispensable tool for understanding root function. The first architectural root model. Was published in 1973 by Lungley. By 1988, ROOTMAP. Was being used for 3D modeling of crop root systems. While RSA modeling became more complex, more powerful computers and visualization software were also developed. Better models and visualization software together give rise to the evolution of root system architecture models in the following figure. More AMF c...
