Phosphate availability regulates root system architecture in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2001 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 ...

Root system markup language: toward an unified root architecture description language [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2015 The number of image analysis tools supporting the extraction of architectural features of root systems has increased over the last years. These tools offer a handy set of complementary facilities, yet it is widely accepted that none of these software ...

HY5 Contributes to Light-Regulated Root System Architecture Under a Root-Covered Culture System [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Light is essential for plant organogenesis and development. Light-regulated shoot morphogenesis has been extensively studied; however, the mechanisms by which plant roots perceive and respond to aboveground light are largely unknown, particularly because

Food for thought: how nutrients regulate root system architecture [PDF]
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2017 The spatial arrangement of the plant root system (root system architecture, RSA) is very sensitive to edaphic and endogenous signals that report on the nutrient status of soil and plant.

Environmental, developmental, and genetic factors controlling root system architecture [PDF]
Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering Reviews, 2014 A better understanding of the development and architecture of roots is essential to develop strategies to increase crop yield and optimize agricultural land use.

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]
The 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 ...

Root system architecture reorganization under decreasing soil phosphorus lowers root system conductance of Zea mays. [PDF]
Ann BotAbstract Background and Aims The global supply of phosphorus (P) is decreasing. At the same time, climate change is reducing the availability of water in most regions of the world. Insights into how decreasing P availability influences plant architecture are crucial to understanding its influence on ...

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.

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
