Digital PCR enables direct root biomass quantification and species profiling in soil samples
A sensitive and efficient ddPCR method has been developed to quantify root biomass and profile species directly from soil, providing a robust alternative t

Warm temperature and mild water stress cooperatively promote root elongation
Hayes and Leong et al. show that warm temperature and mild water stress synergistically enhance root elongation in Arabidopsis. The response is mediated by SnRK2.2/2.3 and COP1 through regulation of H...

This morning wraps the last day of the @ipgsa2025.bsky.social hosted at CSU, Fort Collins. I was super happy to present our latest paper on Warm temperature and Mild water stress interaction on root elongation as well as role of ABA-Auxin in root salt stress response via a poster! (1/3)
This week, I’m #RootingForScience by sharing a day in my life as a plant biologist, highlighting what I do and why it matters💚
