Farmers need to dig up corn plants and evaluate root nodes for damage. “Root nodes contribute to nutrient and water uptake; when nodes are pruned, plant vigor is compromised and yields drop ...
Plants form new leaves, flowers and roots at the tips of shoots and roots, in specific growth regions known as meristems. These meristems contain stem cells that divide as needed and form new ...
