Summary: This study assessed the impact of elevated temperature on the growth, morphology, and spatial orientation of lupine roots, as well as the formation of root architecture. The results showed that the two lupine species responded differently to the temperature increase. Elevated temperature negatively affected the growth and spatial orientation of Lupinus polyphyllus, while promoting root development in L. luteus. These findings provide valuable insights into the potential impact of global warming on the invasiveness of these lupine species.

Summary: Root development is regulated by plant hormones, transcription factors, and recently identified small peptides and their receptors. Small peptides bind to receptors, inducing signaling for cell-to-cell communication and coordination of root development. The interconnection between peptide signaling and conventional phytohormone signaling, as well as the diversity of peptide-receptor interactions, have been discussed in recent studies.

Summary: In this study, the advantages of multispectral imaging over hyperspectral imaging in real-time spectral imaging are analyzed briefly, and the advantages and disadvantages of snapshot spectral imaging and other spectral imaging technologies are described briefly. The technical characteristics of artificial compound eyes and multi-aperture imaging and the research significance of snapshot artificial compound eye multispectral imaging are introduced. The classification and working principle of the snapshot artificial compound eye multispectral imaging system are briefly described. The research results are helpful for understanding the research status of snapshot multispectral multi-aperture imaging technology based on artificial compound eyes and for improving its comprehensive performance.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and analysis of the development and applications of 3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology in the construction field. The Technology Readiness Level (TRL) for 3DCP was estimated to be in the region of TRL6-7, similar to polymer-based fused deposition modelling processes. The study identified four frontiers for research and development to raise the TRL of 3DCP.

Summary: Roots play crucial roles in plant growth by anchoring and absorbing water and nutrients. Root evolution occurred independently at least twice in lycophyte and euphyllophyte clades, with the control mechanisms of root development in lycophytes remaining unclear.

Summary: Root and tuber crops play a vital role in feeding the population and serve as raw materials for medicine and small-scale industries. The development of stem/root tubers, which involves the formation of storage organs, is regulated by various phytohormones, including gibberellins and abscisic acid. This review provides an overview of the roles of gibberellins and abscisic acid in the development of stem/root tubers in different tuber crops.

Summary: Digital holography (DH) is a powerful imaging modality that captures object wavefront information, but in low-light situations, the quality of holograms suffers. We developed a snapshot DH system that operates at an ultra-low photon level by using a quanta image sensor and computational reconstruction. Our method expands DH to the photon-starved regime and enables more advanced holography applications.

Summary: A study on root anatomy following plant injury in two perennial herbs suggested that root-sprouting plants rely on preformed buds for resprouting. It was found that the root-sprouting plant Inula britannica had more secondary thickening compared to the non-root-sprouting plant I. salicina, which improved root storage and transport capacity. Contrary to expectations, plant injury did not increase bud formation in I. britannica, and all buds were connected to the root vascular system.

Summary: Members of the B family of membrane-bound ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters play important roles in auxin efflux in plants. This study integrates ABCB localization data into a multicellular model to predict the impact of ABCB-mediated auxin transport on organ-scale distribution. The results suggest that ABCBs enable auxin efflux independently of PINs, but PINs predominantly mediate auxin efflux when co-localized with ABCBs.

Summary: The genetic basis of root system architecture and resource adaptive responses in wheat was studied using a high-throughput germination paper-based plant phenotyping system and quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis. Significant genotypic and nitrate-N treatment variation was found for seedling traits, and a total of 59 seedling trait QTLs were identified. Transcriptomic analysis revealed gene enrichment in N-related biological processes and differentially expressed genes related to root angle response. These findings provide genetic insight into root system architecture and plant adaptive responses, and offer targets for improving nitrogen capture in wheat.

Summary: The emergence of secondary roots is a regulated process that involves cell wall modifications and hormonal control. In white lupin, the emergence of closely spaced rootlets is associated with the upregulation of genes involved in cell wall pectin modification and degradation, under the active control of auxin. The demethylesterification of pectin and modifications in cortical cells also contribute to the outgrowth of rootlet primordia.

Summary: Root loss has a significant impact on crop development and nutrient uptake, but its effects on crop productivity are not fully understood. Different root phenotypes and soil conditions can lead to varying effects. In some scenarios, root loss can have a positive impact on shoot dry weight, while in others it can have a negative impact.

This work further reveals mechanisms by which plants cope with perturbed shoot element concentrations resulting from a leaky root endodermal barrier.
