Preplant Fertilization Increases Substrate Microbial Respiration But Does Not Affect Southern Highbush Blueberry Establishment in a Coconut Coir-based Substrate

HortScience, 2021
Coconut coir is widely used as a substrate component for southern highbush blueberry [(SHB) Vaccinium corymbosum L. interspecific hybrids] cultivation in containers. Coconut coir-based substrates can exhibit high potassium (K), sodium (Na), and chlorine (

RPT: An integrated root phenotyping toolbox for segmenting and quantifying root system architecture. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Summary The dissection of genetic architecture for rice root system is largely dependent on phenotyping techniques, and high‐throughput root phenotyping poses a great challenge. In this study, we established a cost‐effective root phenotyping platform capable of analysing 1680 root samples within 2 h. To efficiently process a large number of root images,

Early signals of water limitations begin at the root-soil interface: linking rhizosphere drying to water uptake decline. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Understanding when and where drought stress originates in the soil–plant continuum is essential for predicting plant responses to climate change. While stomatal closure is a well‐known reaction to declining soil moisture, the precise hydraulic trigger remains unresolved.

Rhizosphere Engineering by Root Exudates: High-Yielding Alfalfa Recruits Functional PGPR to Sustain Soil Nutrient Availability Under Long-Term Cultivation. [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient transformation capacity is a critical determinant of sustainable productivity in perennial cropping systems; however, the extent to which high‐yielding crops actively regulate rhizosphere microbial assembly to maintain nutrient availability remains poorly understood.

Assessing the effects of compost-derived beneficial bacteria on tomato plants using a Rhizobox system

Over the past decades, the widespread use of chemical fertilizers and intensive agricultural practices has contributed to soil degradation and the progressive loss of soil biodiversity, a key factor in the interactions between plants and soil organisms.

Dynamic root growth in response to depth-varying soil moisture availability: a rhizobox study [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023
Plant roots are highly adaptable, but their adaptability is not included in crop and land surface models. They rely on a simplified representation of root growth, which is independent of soil moisture availability.

Pioneer and fibrous root seasonal dynamics of Vitis vinifera L. are affected by biochar application to a low fertility soil: A rhizobox approach [PDF]

, 2021
The present work analyzes the impact of biochar-induced modification of soil physico-chemical properties on intra-annual growth dynamics of pioneer and fibrous grapevine roots.

Timing matters: Distinct effects of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer application timing on root system architecture responses

Plant-Environment Interactions, 2021
Aims Although different plant foraging responses to the two macronutrients nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are well researched, the effect of timing of fertilizer application on root system architecture (RSA) remains largely unknown. We, therefore, aimed

Exploring the linkage between root system architecture and grain iron content in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
Iron (Fe) is a vital element that is equally important for plants, animals, and humans. High Fe concentrations in wheat grains have reliance on plant roots, the hidden half of the plant with a role in nutrient mining.

Role of Rhizosphere of Ricinus communis L. (Castor) on Nickel Phytoextraction

Madras Agricultural Journal, 2017
Investigation on the dynamics of the heavy metals in the rhizosphere has been hampered by the lack of reliable methods for sampling rhizosphere soil.
