Nitrogen forms affect root structure and water uptake in the hybrid poplar [PDF]

, 2011
The study analyses the effects of two different forms of nitrogen fertilisation (nitrate and ammonium) on root structure and water uptake of two hybrid poplar (Populus maximowiczii x P. balsamifera) clones in a field experiment.

Root patterning: SHORT ROOT on the move [PDF]

Current Biology, 2001
The radial pattern of the plant root is determined by the action of two transcription factors, SHORT ROOT and SCARECROW, which are produced in different cell types. The SHORT ROOT protein has now been shown to move from cell to cell, regulating transcription of the downstream SCARECROW gene in the target cells.

Genotypic Variation in Responses of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) to Drought and Rewatering: Root System Development

Plant Production Science, 2009
Soil moisture condition is a major factor that affects root system development and thus, crop production. This study aimed to evaluate genotypic variations of cassava in root system structures and their responses to different soil moisture conditions by ...

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the citrus calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) genes in response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization and drought

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2020
The calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs, also termed CPKs) are a large, diverse protein family that play significant roles in biotic and abiotic stress responses in plants.

Genetic improvement of legume roots for adaption to acid soils

Crop Journal, 2023
Acid soils occupy approximately 50% of potentially arable lands. Improving crop productivity in acid soils, therefore, will be crucial for ensuring food security and agricultural sustainability.

The fungal collaboration gradient dominates the root economics space in plants

Science Advances, 2020
Collaboration broadens the “root economics space” ranging from “do-it-yourself” to “outsourcing” to mycorrhizal partners. Plant economics run on carbon and nutrients instead of money.
