Effect over the elongation growth acceleration of root segments of Zea Mays L. due to elevated external pressure

Unveiling nutrient flow-mediated stress in plant roots using an on-chip phytofluidic device

“…1 Early growth and development of the root system are influenced by various abiotic factors such as nutrient supply, pH, total cationic concentration, aeration and soil temperature, humidity, strength, composition, and water content. [3][4][5][6] Besides these, external hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressure are also known to have a non-trivial impact on root architecture. 7,8 Nutrient supply can potently affect root growth, morphology, and distribution in the substrate.…”
