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. ....

Washington [US], January 15 (ANI): Scientists have discovered a signal that causes roots to stop growing in hard soils which can be switched off to allow them to punch through compacted soil - a discovery that could help plants to grow in even the most damaged soils.
As per the findings published in the journal Science an international research team led by scientists from the University of Nottingham s Future Food Beacon and Shanghai, Jiao Tong University has discovered how the plant signal ethylene causes roots to stop growing in hard soils, but after this signal is disabled, roots are able to push through compacted soil. The research has been published in Science. ....
