Shaping 3D Root System Architecture [PDF]

Current Biology, 2017
Plants are sessile organisms rooted in one place. The soil resources that plants require are often distributed in a highly heterogeneous pattern. To aid foraging, plants have evolved roots whose growth and development are highly responsive to soil signals.

Osmotic regulation of root system architecture [PDF]

Plant Journal, 2005
SummaryAlthough root system architecture is known to be highly plastic and strongly affected by environmental conditions, we have little understanding of the underlying mechanisms controlling root system development. Here we demonstrate that the formation of a lateral root from a lateral root primordium is repressed as water availability is reduced ...

Statistical Characterization of the Root System Architecture Model CRootBox

Vadose Zone Journal, 2018
The connection between the parametrization of three-dimensional (3D) root architecture models and characteristic measures of the simulated root systems is often not obvious.

PIN Transcriptional Regulation Shapes Root System Architecture [PDF]

Trends in Plant Science, 2016
Regulation of auxin distribution by PIN transporters is key in the dynamic modulation of root growth and branching. Three novel papers shed light on an intricate network through which several hormones and transcriptional regulators collectively fine-tune the transcriptional level of these auxin transporters in the root.

Diversity of Root System Architecture in Mediterranean Maize Inbred Lines Provides New Breeding Opportunities to Improve Stress Resilience and Resource Efficiency [PDF]

Plants
A detailed characterization of root system architecture (RSA) and growth dynamics is key to develop stress-resilient maize varieties. We evaluated sixty-five Mediterranean maize inbred lines using automated high-throughput phenotyping under controlled ...

Root system architecture in cereals: progress, challenges and perspective [PDF]

Plant Journal, 2022
SUMMARY Roots are essential multifunctional plant organs involved in water and nutrient uptake, metabolite storage, anchorage, mechanical support, and interaction with the soil environment. Understanding of this ‘hidden half’ provides potential for manipulation of root system architecture (RSA) traits to optimize resource use ...

Phosphate Availability Regulates Root System Architecture in Arabidopsis [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2001
Abstract Plant root systems are highly plastic in their development and can adapt their architecture in response to the prevailing environmental conditions. One important parameter is the availability of phosphate, which is highly immobile in soil such that the arrangement of roots within the soil will profoundly affect the ability of ...

Response of root morphology and anatomy of two alfalfa cultivars with contrasting root system architecture to phosphorus deficiency under drought stress [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionThe mechanisms underlying adaptations of root system architecture (RSA) and root anatomy to phosphorus (P) deficiency and drought stress remain unclear in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.).

Modulating root system architecture: cross-talk between auxin and phytohormones [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Root architecture is an important agronomic trait that plays an essential role in water uptake, soil compactions, nutrient recycling, plant–microbe interactions, and hormone-mediated signaling pathways.
