Plant growth systems tested on the International Space Station (ISS) are small-area growth units that mostly use solid media. With NASA’s plan to send astron...

Increased root exudation rate under combined drought and bacterial inoculation and bacterial growth stimulation by specific exudation metabolites support the idea of root recruitment of beneficial bacteria, especially under water stress.

The mechanism, or hypothesis, of how a plant might be adapted to drought should strongly influence experimental design. For instance, an experiment te…
