Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Drought is a serious problem that causes losses in crop-yield every year, but the mechanisms underlying how roots respond to water deficit are difficult to study under controlled conditions.

Genetic Dissection of Root System Architectural Traits in Spring Barley
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Breeding new crop cultivars with efficient root systems carries great potential to enhance resource use efficiency and plant adaptation to unstable climates. Here, we evaluated the natural variation of root system architectural traits in a diverse spring

Effects of Shade on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Acquisition in Cereal-Legume Intercropping Systems
Agriculture, 2012 With increasing economic and environmental costs associated with fertilizer use, the need for low-input agroecological systems is on the rise. It is well documented that intercropping legumes can increase the supply of nutrients, through N2-fixation and ...

Analysis of maize and sunflower plants treated by molybdenum in rhizobox experiment
Acta Agraria Debreceniensis, 2015 In this study, maize (Zea mays L. cv. Norma SC) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv Arena PR) seedlings treated by molybdenum (Mo) that were cultivated in special plant growth boxes, known as rhizoboxes. During our research we tried to examine whether increasing molybdenum (Mo) concentration effects on the dry mass and absorption of some elements ...

Nitrogen transformations in the rhizosphere of different tree types in a seasonally flooded soil
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2014 Plant roots strongly influence C and N availability in the rhizosphere via rhizodeposition and uptake of nutrients. An in situ rhizobox approach was used to compare rhizosphere effects of different tree species and clones on N cycling under seasonally ...

Seasonal patterns of root production of Japanese oak seedlings and dwarf bamboo grown in rhizoboxes [PDF]
Plant Biosystems - An International Journal Dealing with all Aspects of Plant Biology, 2010 We separately examined the temporal patterns of root production by Japanese oak (Quercus crispula) and dwarf bamboo (Sasa veitchii), which is a major understory species in cool temperate forests. We grew Japanese oak seedlings and Sasa stocks (i.e., the rhizome and connected culms) in organic‐free sand in rhizoboxes and then scanned roots that were ...
