Oat (Avena sativa L.) seedlings were grown in (a) complete nutrient solutions, (b) calcium-deficient solutions, and (c) moist air. Calcium content of roots before and after treatment was determined by ...

Root hairs represent a low-cost strategy to enhance nutrient uptake because they can significantly increase the nutrient-acquiring surface of plant roots. While primary and lateral roots are ...

1. The fact that root hairs are not always ephemeral structures is well exemplified in certain species of Compositae in which they persist for one, two, and sometimes even for three years. 2.

A group of international researchers has discovered how plant root hair grows straight and long. Many studies of root hair growth have been performed, however, the molecular mechanism for the ...

The tiny hairs found on plant roots play a pivotal role in helping reduce soil erosion, a new study has found. The research provides compelling evidence that when root hairs interact with the ...
