Microbially Mediated Plant Functional Traits

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2011
Plants are rife with bacteria and fungi that colonize roots and shoots both externally and internally. By providing novel nutritional and defense pathways and influencing plant biochemical pathways, microbes can fundamentally alter plant phenotypes. Here we review the widespread nature of microbially mediated plant functional traits. We highlight that

Plant Functional Traits and the Multidimensional Phenotype

2023
Abstract Modules are the basic architectural building blocks of a plant. Roots anchor plants in place, provide support for growing stems, acquire water and mineral nutrients from the soil, and transport water and minerals to aboveground tissues. Clonality and bud banks are a neglected aspect of plant form and function.

Plant functional traits and environmental variations

2013
Since the original Darwin's definition of ''functional traits'' as predictors (proxies) of organism performance, a growing scientific community, mainly over the last three decades, used the ''traitbased'' approach to address fundamental ecological and multi-scale questions.
