Plants, 2018 (1) Background: Plant roots respond to nutrients through root architecture that is regulated by hormones. Strong inter-specific variation in root architecture has been well documented, but physiological mechanisms that may control the variation have not.

Phenotyping Tomato Root Developmental Plasticity in Response to Salinity in Soil Rhizotrons
Plant Phenomics, 2021 Plants have developed multiple strategies to respond to salt stress. In order to identify new traits related to salt tolerance, with potential breeding application, the research focus has recently been shifted to include root system architecture (RSA ...

Nitrogen modulation of legume root architecture signaling pathways involves phytohormones and small regulatory molecules [PDF]
, 2015 Nitrogen, particularly nitrate is an important yield determinant for crops. However, current agricultural practice with excessive fertilizer usage has detrimental effects on the environment.

Root architecture and hydraulics converge for acclimation to changing water availability
Nature Plants, 2020 Because of intense transpiration and growth, the needs of plants for water can be immense. Yet water in the soil is most often heterogeneous if not scarce due to more and more frequent and intense drought episodes.

Local and systemic regulation of plant root system architecture and symbiotic nodulation by a receptor-like kinase. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 In plants, root system architecture is determined by the activity of root apical meristems, which control the root growth rate, and by the formation of lateral roots. In legumes, an additional root lateral organ can develop: the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing

Rice root genetic architecture: Meta-analysis from a drought QTL database [PDF]
, 2009 During the last 10 years, a large number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling rice root morphological parameters have been detected in several mapping populations by teams interested in improving drought resistance in rice.

Iterative image segmentation of plant roots for high-throughput phenotyping
Scientific Reports, 2022 Accurate segmentation of root system architecture (RSA) from 2D images is an important step in studying phenotypic traits of root systems. Various approaches to image segmentation exist but many of them are not well suited to the thin and reticulated ...

Building a future with root architecture [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2018 Unmanaged consumption and climate change are profoundly affecting water resources at a global level. It is therefore vital to understand plant responses to drought and flooding, and to breed crops with greater water use efficiency and resilience. Root system architecture is critically important in this, but understanding how architecture and root ...

Root architecture for improved resource capture: trade-offs in complex environments.
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2020 Root architecture is a promising breeding target for developing resource-efficient crops. Breeders and plant physiologists have called for root ideotypes that have narrow, deep root systems for improved water and nitrate capture, or wide, shallower root ...
