Utilizing nature to protect soybean roots
Comparison of anterior midgut ultrastructure of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) fed A (wild type) or B (GMB151 (Cry14Ab expressing) plants). In C. elegans fed GMB151, the intestinal lumen is enlarged in size and filled with fibrous material, a lysate from microvilli-like structures (MvLs) (Figures 5, 6, and 7). In GMB151 plant-feeding nematodes, loss of MvL cytoplasm due to rupture of…

Plant hormones that help roots reach deeper water offer potential strategy for drought-tolerant crops
Images of watering (left) and water stress (right) – showing changes in root angle to make the building steeper. Credit: University of Nottingham Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems under drought conditions, growing rapidly into the soil to access deeper reservoirs. Plant scientists at the University of Nottingham, in collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, are investigating…
