Root systems biology [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The understanding of biological complexity has been greatly facilitated by cross-disciplinary, holistic approaches that allow insights into the function and regulation of biological processes that cannot be captured by dissecting them into their individual components. In addition, the development of novel tools has dramatically increased our ability to

Ammonium chloride as an alternative source of nitrogen for sugarcane during two consecutive cycles [PDF]

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira
: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the application of ammonium chloride as a nitrogen source for sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) on the development of the crop’s shoot and roots during two consecutive cycles.

Modelling diverse root density dynamics and deep nitrogen uptake — a simple approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We present a 2-D model for simulation of root density and plant nitrogen (N) uptake for crops grown in agricultural systems, based on a modification of the root density equation originally proposed by Gerwitz and Page in J Appl Ecol 11:773–781, (1974). A

Root growth and yield of sugarcane as a function of increasing gypsum doses

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2017
Sugarcane plays an important role in the Brazilian agribusiness. However, poor rainfall distribution and soil acidity directly affect its production in the Northeast Brazil.

Different root growth patterns in tomato seedlings grown hydroponically under an electric field [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Electric fields can determine changes at morphological and physiological levels in plants. In this study, seedlings of Solanum lycopersicum L., grown hydroponically in a floating system, were exposed to a DC 12.0 V m–1 electric field (EF).

Shifts of Leaf Litter-Induced Plant-Soil Feedback from Negative to Positive Driven by Ectomycorrhizal Symbiosis between Quercus ilex and Pisolithus arrhizus

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Ectomycorrhizas (ECM) are a common symbiotic association between fungi and various plant species in forest ecosystems, affecting community assemblages at the landscape level.

Characterizing Genetic Variation in Late, Deep Wheat Root Architecture to Improve Yield and Yield Stability under Terminal Water Stress

open access: yesProceedings, 2020
Root systems play an important role in crop performance particularly under rain fed conditions. Root architecture is key in determining the ability of crops to extract water at various soil depths.

Fenlong-Ridging Deep Tillage Integrated with Biochar and Fertilization to Improve Sugarcane Growth and Yield

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Sugarcane yield in China is low because of the shallow A-horizon soil layer, or as it is commonly called by farmers, the “plow soil layer”, as well as low soil organic matter and fertilizer utilization efficiency.

Characterization of plant growth promoting potential of 3D-printed plant microbial fuel cells

open access: yesInternational Journal of Renewable Energy Development, 2023
Plant-Microbial Fuel Cell (PMFC) is an emerging technology that converts plant waste into electrical energy through rhizodeposition, offering a renewable and sustainable source of energy.

Root architecture, root biomass and nutrient cycling in a mixed‐species agroforestry system

open access: yes, 2023
Understanding root development in soil profiles of agroforestry systems is challenging. It is uncertain to what extent the proximity of cash crops, such as cocoa and coffee, to shade trees reduces nutrient concentrations in the topsoil and whether the ...
