Study paves way for compaction-resistant crops >More in © Tim Scrivener New opportunities to create compaction-resistant crops that are able to grow in the hardest of soils could be on the horizon thanks to a scientific breakthrough. Researchers discovered how the plant signal ethylene causes roots to stop growing in hard soils. But this signal can be “switched off” to allow roots to punch through compacted soil. Researchers used X-ray computed tomography scanners at the Hounsfield Facility at the University of Nottingham to visualise how plant roots respond to compacted soil. “Understanding how roots penetrate hard soils has huge implications for agriculture, as this knowledge will be crucial for breeding crops that are more resilient to soil compaction,” said Malcolm Bennett, from the University of Nottingham School of Biosciences.
