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.

Abiotic factors determine the root system architecture – review and update
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2023 Decades of root research have led to a deep understanding of the molecular and genetic mechanisms regulating root system architecture. This review provides past and present-day root research with a focus on abiotic factors, such as nutrient limitation ...

Root System Architecture and Gravitropism in the Oil Palm [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2000 The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) has a root system consisting of primary (or order 1) roots, which are either orthogravitropic (R1 VD, with positive gravitropism) or diagravitropic (R1 H). Their statenchyma have very similar characteristics (mainly vacuolated, large cells).

Complementary Phenotyping of Maize Root System Architecture by Root Pulling Force and X-Ray Imaging
Plant Phenomics, 2021 The root system is critical for the survival of nearly all land plants and a key target for improving abiotic stress tolerance, nutrient accumulation, and yield in crop species.

Silicon Effects on the Root System of Diverse Crop Species Using Root Phenotyping Technology
Plants, 2021 Roots play an essential function in the plant life cycle, as they utilize water and essential nutrients to promote growth and plant productivity. In particular, root morphology characteristics (such as length, diameter, hairs, and lateral growth) and the

BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Phosphate is an essential plant macronutrient required to achieve maximum crop yield. Roots are able to uptake soil phosphate from the immediate root area, thus creating a nutrient depletion zone. Many plants are able to exploit phosphate from

Rhizoboxes as Rapid Tools for the Study of Root Systems of Prunus Seedlings
Plants, 2022 Rootstocks are fundamental for peach production, and their architectural root traits determine their performance. Root-system architecture (RSA) analysis is one of the key factors involved in rootstock selection.

Systems approaches to study root architecture dynamics [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 The plant root system is essential for providing anchorage to the soil, supplying minerals and water, and synthesizing metabolites. It is a dynamic organ modulated by external cues such as environmental signals, water and nutrients availability, salinity and others. Lateral roots (LRs) are initiated from the primary root post-embryonically, after which

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

TaMOR is essential for root initiation and improvement of root system architecture in wheat [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2021 SummaryOptimal root system architecture is beneficial for water‐fertilizer use efficiency, stress tolerance and yield improvement of crops. However, because of the complexity of root traits and difficulty in phenotyping deep roots, the study on mechanisms of root development is rarely reported in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
