The paper models how salt stress alters root system architecture in wild tomatoes by incorporating lateral-root curvature and identifies a heritable genetic locus associated with transport efficiency.

The paper develops Ariadne to analyze root system architecture tradeoffs in Arabidopsis, finding developmental stage, genotype, and manganese availability influence cost-efficiency balance.

This paper describes a distributed algorithm inspired by turtle ants to maintain and repair trail networks, validated on synthetic and real-world networks.
