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

Nitrate and phosphate availability and distribution have different effects on root system architecture ofArabidopsis [PDF]
Plant root systems can respond to nutrient availability and distribution by changing the three-dimensional deployment of their roots: their root system architecture (RSA). We have compared RSA in homogeneous and heterogeneous nitrate and phosphate supply

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

Evolving technologies for growing, imaging and analyzing 3D root system architecture of crop plants [PDF]
A plant's ability to maintain or improve its yield under limiting conditions, such as nutrient deficiency or drought, can be strongly influenced by root system architecture (RSA), the three-dimensional distribution of the different root types in the soil.

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

Modeling and Analysis of Root Branching Plasticity Based on Parrondo's Game
For different kinds of plants, the distribution of lateral roots is highly plastic in different growth environments. In particular, the branching distance of the roots plays a decisive role in the formation of the root system architecture.
