Root architecture development in stony soils
Vadose Zone Journal, 2021 Soils with high stone content represent a challenge to root development, as each stone is an obstacle to root growth. A high stone content also affects soil properties such as temperature or water content, which in turn affects root growth.

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.

Oilseeds and fats, crops and lipids, 2021 Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] is the legume with the largest cultivated area worldwide and its yield depends largely on symbiotic nitrogen fixation and root architecture.

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 ...

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

Root Architecture Responses: In Search of Phosphate [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2014 Soil phosphate represents the only source of phosphorus for plants and, consequently, is its entry into the trophic chain. This major component of nucleic acids, phospholipids, and energy currency of the cell (ATP) can limit plant growth because of its low mobility in soil.

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 ...

Current Biology, 2020 Nitrogen-deprived legume plants form new root organs, the nodules, following a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing rhizobial bacteria [1]. Because this interaction is beneficial for the plant but has a high energetic cost, nodulation is tightly controlled by ...

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 ...
