Secondary growth of the roots of annual dicots has functional significance with regards to soil resource acquisition and transport, interactions with soil organisms and carbon sequestration.
Changes in leaf anatomy, more than hydraulics, allowed the ferns to thrive in a high light environment.
Botanists aren’t always genetic engineers. This week Nigel Chaffey finds some have branched out into civil engineering.
This study provides the first evidence for the physiological role of the hydathode trichomes in active water secretion in the rhinanthoid Orobanchaceae.
Plant xylem from the sapwood of coniferous trees can remove bacteria from water by simple pressure-driven filtration.
Studies show that fog water diffuses directly through leaf cuticles of Drimys brasiliensis and is transported through the xylem to below ground.
