How does water move through plants to get to the top of tall trees? Here we describe the pathways and mechanisms driving water uptake and transport through plants, and causes of flow disruption.

Changes in root architecture, induction of root-based transport systems and associations with beneficial soil microorganisms allow plants to maintain optimal nutrient content in the face of ...

A far-reaching study has cast doubt on statistical methods used to identify long-distance signaling networks in plants. The ...

Fully turgid cells support the stems of non-woody plants. In a very concentrated solution, the cell undergoes full plasmolysis as the cells lose more water. Plants would be exposed to higher ...
