Maize root system stiffness is determined by the size and distribution of the below-ground root system

This study identifies the factors contributing to root system stiffness in maize and shows that below-ground root architecture primarily determines its prediction.

Meter-scale 2D clinostats uncover environmentally derived variation in tomato responses to simulated microgravity

This study uses meter-scale 2D clinostats to simulate microgravity for tomato plants, revealing environmental factors like temperature influence growth responses.

A biphasic trajectory for maize stalk mechanics shaped by genetic, environmental, and biotic factors

This study identifies a biphasic trajectory in maize stalk mechanics influenced by genetic, environmental, and biotic factors, showing material properties define the trajectory and environmental factors modulate its rate.
