1.
Mehra P, Banda J, Ogorek L, Fusi R, Castrillo G, Colombi T, et al.
Annu Rev Plant Biol . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40085847
Plant roots play myriad roles that include foraging for resources in complex soil environments. Within this highly dynamic soil environment roots must sense, interact with, and acclimate to factors such...
2.
Scharwies J, Clarke T, Zheng Z, Dinneny A, Birkeland S, Veltman M, et al.
Science . 2025 Feb; 387(6734):666-673. PMID: 39913586
Plants grow complex root systems to extract unevenly distributed resources from soils. Spatial differences in soil moisture are perceived by root tips, leading to the patterning of new root branches...
3.
Mehra P, Fairburn R, Leftley N, Banda J, Bennett M
Curr Opin Plant Biol . 2023 Jun; 75:102405. PMID: 37379661
Access to water is critical for all forms of life. Plants primarily access water through their roots. Root traits such as branching are highly sensitive to water availability, enabling plants...
4.
Mehra P, Pandey B, Melebari D, Banda J, Leftley N, Couvreur V, et al.
Science . 2022 Nov; 378(6621):762-768. PMID: 36395221
Plant roots exhibit plasticity in their branching patterns to forage efficiently for heterogeneously distributed resources, such as soil water. The xerobranching response represses lateral root formation when roots lose contact...
5.
Leftley N, Banda J, Pandey B, Bennett M, Voss U
Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol . 2021 Apr; 13(11). PMID: 33903159
Since colonizing land, plants have developed mechanisms to tolerate a broad range of abiotic stresses that include flooding, drought, high salinity, and nutrient limitation. Roots play a key role acclimating...
6.
von Wangenheim D, Banda J, Schmitz A, Boland J, Bishopp A, Maizel A, et al.
Nat Plants . 2020 Feb; 6(2):73-77. PMID: 32015516
Root branching is influenced by the soil environment and exhibits a high level of plasticity. We report that the radial positioning of emerging lateral roots is influenced by their hydrological...
7.
Banda J, Bellande K, von Wangenheim D, Goh T, Guyomarch S, Laplaze L, et al.
Trends Plant Sci . 2019 Aug; 24(9):826-839. PMID: 31362861
Lateral roots (LRs) are crucial for increasing the surface area of root systems to explore heterogeneous soil environments. Major advances have recently been made in the model plant arabidopsis (Arabidopsis...

Orosa-Puente B, Leftley N, von Wangenheim D, Banda J, Srivastava A, Hill K, et al.
Science . 2018 Dec; 362(6421):1407-1410. PMID: 30573626
Plants adapt to heterogeneous soil conditions by altering their root architecture. For example, roots branch when in contact with water by using the hydropatterning response. We report that hydropatterning is...
