Root decisions [PDF]

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2009
ABSTRACTRoot systems have recognizable developmental plans when grown in solution or agar; however, these plans often must be modified to cope with the prevailing conditions in the soil environment such as the avoidance of obstacles and the exploitation of nutrient‐rich patches or water zones.

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.
