title: Hydraphile synthetic ion channels alter root architecture in Arabidopsis thaliana.
abstract: The presence of low concentrations of hydraphile synthetic amphiphiles have been found to dramatically alter the primary/lateral root architectural balance in the A. thaliana plant model system and a correlation to ion transport by the hydraphiles is consistent with the effects.
