The volume flux, $J_{v}$, and the osmotic driving force, σΔπ, across excised root systems of Zea mays were measued as a function of ΔP, the hydrostatic pressure ...

What is the Rhizosphere and how can understanding rhizosphere processes help feed the world and save the environment? This article will review the critical biogeochemical processes occurring at the ...

It is easy to study what you can see. Researchers know a lot about how plants work aboveground, but what happens out of sight under the surface may control more than we once thought. It is easy to ...

Plants form a vast network of below-ground roots that search soil forneeded resources. Excavation of root systems reveals special resource-finding environmental adaptations but is laborious, ...

Rhizodegradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), may benefit from the major role that root exudates have on rhizospheric microbial processes. We ...
