Roots grow downward and branch outward through the process of lateral root (LR) formation, building a root system that secures water and nutrients. In most

PIN-FORMED (PIN2) regulates root system architecture in barley. Gene editing was used to create novel genetic variants. Outcomes show wider root systems without impacting canopy development. In-dept...

In 1880, Charles Darwin and his son Francis observed one of the first clues that light can direct plant growth, describing how young plants sense light at
