Soil compaction and nitrate capture
While lateral roots comprise the bulk of root length, axial roots function as a scaffold determining the distribution of these laterals.

While lateral roots comprise the bulk of root length, axial roots function as a scaffold determining the distribution of these laterals.
New research finds that root capturing more nutrients could help wildlife breathe many miles away.
The influence of light on germination was much stronger in smaller than in larger seeds.
A study of rice cultivars with differing responsiveness to nitrate finds that initiation of lateral roots is only enhanced with higher responsiveness.
