Investigation of the Allelopathic Effect of Two Invasive Plant Species in Rhizotron System [PDF]
LifeA key question in plant invasion biology is why invasive plants are more competitive in their introduced habitat than in their native habitat. Studies show that invasive species exhibit allelopathy, influencing other plants by releasing chemicals ...

In situ Phenotyping of Grapevine Root System Architecture by 2D or 3D Imaging: Advantages and Limits of Three Cultivation Methods [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The root system plays an essential role in the development and physiology of the plant, as well as in its response to various stresses. However, it is often insufficiently studied, mainly because it is difficult to visualize.

Characterizing Root Morphological Responses to Exogenous Tryptophan in Soybean (Glycine max) Seedlings Using a Scanner-Based Rhizotron System [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Tryptophan is a precursor of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which is the major auxin involved in the regulation of lateral root formation. In this study, we used a scanner-based rhizotron system to examine root growth and morphological responses of soybean (

Rhizosphere organic anions play a minor role in improving crop species’ ability to take up residual phosphorus (P) in agricultural soils low in P availability [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Many arable lands have accumulated large reserves of residual phosphorus (P) and a relatively large proportion of soil P is less available for uptake by plants. Root released organic anions are widely documented as a key physiological strategy to enhance

Phenotypic Diversity in Pre- and Post-Attachment Resistance to Striga hermonthica in a Core Collection of Rice Germplasms [PDF]
Plants, 2022 In sub-Saharan Africa, upland rice cultivation is expanding into rainfed areas endemic to the root parasitic weed Striga hermonthica. We evaluated the Striga resistance of 69 accessions from the World Rice Core Collection (WRC) to estimate the phenotypic
