How grow-and-switch gravitropism generates root coiling and root waving growth responses in Medicago truncatula

Experimental studies show that plant root morphologies can vary widely from straight gravity-aligned primary roots to fractal-like root architectures. However, the opaqueness of soil makes it difficult to observe how environmental factors modulate these patterns. Here, we combine a transparent hydro...
