Apoplastic barriers in maize lateral roots
Roots rely on apoplastic barriers for nutrient absorption. However, little is known about the establishment of these barriers within the lateral roots. The branching, permeability of the outer cell layers and...

Relationships between root diameter, length and branching of maize
The effect of diameter variation on root elongation, branching and topological connections has not been examined systematically in a population of high-order roots, nor along the roots. Wu et al. used very detailed...
Regulation of root morphogenesis in arbuscular mycorrhizae (Review)
Increased root branching is recognized as a general feature of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) roots, but a full understanding of the mechanisms involved is still lacking. Fusconi reviews the subject and concludes that...
