Plant roots are surrounded by highly diverse soil microbial communities, and their coevolution is crucial for plant fitness and the function of rhizosphere ecosystems 1,2,3,4. Different plant ecotypes ...
Root hair (RH) cells are important for the growth and survival of seedlings. They favor plant–microbe interactions and nutrients uptake. When invading the soil, RH cells have to penetrate a dense ...
Plants have evolved diverse adaptive strategies to optimize the exploration of light and soil resources from their environments. One of the most prominent adaptive responses is the developmental ...
