It’s a bit like giving the soil a DNA test.” A new droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method quantifies root DNA directly from soil ...

Understanding plant root systems is vital to improving crop productivity and climate adaptation, yet their complex underground structures remain difficult to characterize. Conventional imaging methods ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm to bolster what once were static models of root dynamics, providing researchers a clearer picture of what's really happening beneath the soil. The work ...

The C routine in Listing 1 generates the cube root of either a positive or a negative number. The number can range from a small fraction to greater than 1 billion. Note that this idea is irrelevant ...
