Nutrient deficiency effects on root architecture and root-to-shoot ratio in arable crops. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2022 Plant root traits play a crucial role in resource acquisition and crop performance when soil nutrient availability is low. However, the respective trait responses are complex, particularly at the field scale, and poorly understood due to difficulties in ...

From hydraulic root architecture models to macroscopic representations of root hydraulics in soil water flow and land surface models [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 Root water uptake is an important process in the terrestrial water cycle. How this process depends on soil water content, root distributions, and root properties is a soil–root hydraulic problem.

Harnessing root architecture to address global challenges. [PDF]
Plant J, 2022 SUMMARY Root architecture can be targeted in breeding programs to develop crops with better capture of water and nutrients. In rich nations, such crops would reduce production costs and environmental pollution and, in developing nations, they would ...

Carotenoid-derived bioactive metabolites shape plant root architecture to adapt to the rhizospheric environments [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Roots are important plant organs for the uptake of water and nutrient elements. Plant root development is finely regulated by endogenous signals and environmental cues, which shapes the root system architecture to optimize the plant growth and adapt to ...

A Major Root Architecture QTL Responding to Water Limitation in Durum Wheat
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The optimal root system architecture (RSA) of a crop is context dependent and critical for efficient resource capture in the soil. Narrow root growth angle promoting deeper root growth is often associated with improved access to water and nutrients in ...

Root exudate-derived compounds stimulate the phosphorus solubilizing ability of bacteria
Scientific Reports, 2023 Low phosphorus (P) availability in soils is a major challenge for sustainable food production, as most soil P is often unavailable for plant uptake and effective strategies to access this P are limited.
