Most of our knowledge about how plants function has been focused on leaves or stems, however, we do not know that much about the functional traits of roots. Fine roots (the thin roots at the end ...

If a quadratic equation can be factorised, the factors can be used to find the roots of the equation. The equation factorises to give \((x + 3) (x - 2) = 0 \) so the solutions to the equation \(x ...

Next, we need to find the roots of the equation. We can use the 'discriminant' to show how many roots there are, if any: \({b^2} - 4ac\textgreater0\) means there are two roots \({b^2} ...

Roots serve many functions for a plant including anchorage and acquisition of vital nutrients and water necessary for growth. The plant root-soil interface is a dynamic region in which numerous ...
