MycoRed: Betalain pigments enable in vivo real-time visualisation of arbuscular mycorrhizal colonisation.

PLoS Biology, 2021
Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) are mutualistic interactions formed between soil fungi and plant roots. AM symbiosis is a fundamental and widespread trait in plants with the potential to sustainably enhance future crop yields.

Implementation of an early artificial inoculation test to screen oil palm progenies for their level of resistance and hypothesis on natural infection : Ganoderma disease of the oil palm [PDF]

, 2009
Genetic resistance to basal stem rot (BSR) of oil palm is a major component of an integrated control strategy for BSR disease. Early detection of the level of resistance or susceptibility is of paramount importance for the breeding and sustainability of ...

Deep roots and soil structure [PDF]

, 2015
In this opinion article we examine the relationship between penetrometer resistance and soil depth in the field. Assuming that root growth is inhibited at penetrometer resistances > 2.5 MPa, we conclude that in most circumstances the increases in ...

Association mapping for Striga resistance and agronomic‐related traits in sorghum

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Over 50% of arable land available for cereal production in sub‐Saharan Africa is severely infested with Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth, posing a significant challenge to agricultural productivity in the region. In this study, we performed association mapping of plant height, panicle height, number of leaves per plant, field fresh grain weight,

Striga parasitizes transgenic hairy roots of Zea mays and provides a tool for studying plant-plant interactions [PDF]

, 2012
Background Striga species are noxious root hemi-parasitic weeds that debilitate cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Control options for Striga are limited and developing Striga resistant crop germplasm is regarded as the best and most ...

Genetic dissection of the root system architecture QTLome and its relationship with early shoot development, breeding and adaptation in durum wheat

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Root system architecture (RSA), shoot architecture, and shoot‐to‐root biomass allocation are critical for optimizing crop water and nutrient capture and ultimately grain yield. Nevertheless, only a few studies adequately dissected the genetic basis of RSA and its relationship to shoot development.

Above‐ and below‐ground phenology of four tree species in mixed forests and monospecific stands

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3751-3765, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The phenology of tree root growth is poorly understood especially for mixed forests. To attempt to fill this knowledge gap, we selected four co‐occurring broadleaf trees species of the European forests (Quercus robur, Carpinus betulus, Tilia cordata and Acer platanoides)

ESTIMATING FINE_ROOT LONGEVITY OF FRAXINUS MANDSHURICAAND LARIX GMELINII USING MINI-RHIZOTRONS [PDF]

Chinese Journal of Plant Ecology, 2007
Aims Fine-roots (≤2 mm diameter) are important in controlling energy and matter exchange between tree and soil. Fine-root longevity is a critical determinant of fine-root turnover and therefore carbon allocation and nutrients returned to the soil.
