Synthetic genetic circuits that count developmental cues in plant roots
Plants explore soil environments through their roots, which branch repeatedly to access water and soil-borne nutrients. In many plants, root branches are generated by repeated developmental programs and molecular analyses have not identified markers that distinguish primary from later root branches. Consequently, efforts to engineer plant roots for improved water or nutrient acquisition are…
