Quick responders Plants may be fixed in the ground. But they are quick responders. This is shown once again in recent research. Wherein a team of international researchers tells us that plants and algae respond within 30 seconds to the plant hormone auxin. The hormone auxin is about involved in almost everything in relation toContinue reading “Quick responders”

Something that is fascinating researchers for years, because how does a plant precisely regulate this growth is still a question. One of the factors that has a role inContinue reading “Acidic roots”
Zure wortels

When inside, they work their way up to the vascular bundle, were they start feeding. Plants are growing more roots around the infection site, as a way of compensating. But up to nowContinue reading “Extra root growth through infection”
