Scientists have discovered a signal that causes the roots of plants 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 driest of climates.

The finding shows that these early organisms had already evolved traits to deal with waves and tidal currents on what was a turbulent coastline half a billion years ago.

Chemistry researchers at Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ�� have found a much more efficient way of converting biomass into so-called bio-aromatics.
