Description
Jiacan Sun and three co-authors test whether root nodules change how pea roots move water, in a short 2026 report. The team compared normal peas with two mutant types, one that forms no nodules and one that forms extra nodules. Water flow was scaled by root dry mass, nodules counted, and plants were tested both well watered and under dry soil. The finding is plain: forming nodules did not change the water flow rate.
