then allowed plants and fungi to grow roots into it. After the plants were removed, the glass was left with a complex 3D microfluidic network of micrometer-sized hollow holes where the roots once ...

In a breakthrough study published in Science on Nov. 15, international researchers have identified mechanisms driving ...

Plants and hyphae-like cavities are formed inside the transparent glass chip. The root hair-like channels (left) are about 10 μm thick, and the hypha channels (right) are about 2 μm thick.

The key to three-dimensional plant architecture lies in precise control over the orientation of cell division. Plant cells ...
