Advances in computational models may allow us to quickly predict responses of important food crops to environmental stresses in the field, and to identify the genetic basis of these.

Aquaporins and apoplastic barriers in nutrient-limited barley
Aquaporins can change their activity reversibly, if exposed to a change in nutrients.

Water balance in potassium-limited barley
Limited supply of mineral nutrients such as potassium increases the root-to-shoot ratio. This also increases the ratio between water-absorbing and -losing plant surface. Water uptake per unit surface has to either...

Shoot control of root aquaporin expression in rice
Seeking to uncover the responses of root hydraulics and water uptake to transpirational water loss, Meng et al. analyse three-week old rice plants, observing changes in root aquaporin expression and hydraulic...

Developmental changes in root hydraulics (Research in Context)
A study of barley plants during the early stages of vegetative development (9–28 d old) to determine by what means root water uptake is increased.
