Fusarium pseudograminearum and F. culmorum affect the root system architecture of bread wheat [PDF]

, 2023
Yield losses of bread wheat due to crown rot can be more severe when drought conditions occur during the grain-filling period. Root architecture characteristics are important for soil exploration and below-ground resource acquisition and are essential ...

LARGE ROOT ANGLE1, encoding OsPIN2, is involved in root system architecture in rice [PDF]

, 2017
Root system architecture is very important for plant growth and crop yield. It is essential for nutrient and water uptake, anchoring, and mechanical support.

Shoot yield drives phosphorus use efficiency in Brassica oleracea and correlates with root architecture traits [PDF]

, 2009
The environmental and financial costs of using inorganic phosphate fertilizers to maintain crop yield and quality are high. Breeding crops that acquire and use phosphorus (P) more efficiently could reduce these costs.

Genetic and phenotypic associations between root architecture, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonisation and low phosphate tolerance in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa)

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

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

, 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 ...

HY5 Contributes to Light-Regulated Root System Architecture Under a Root-Covered Culture System

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

Root architecture characterization in relation to biomass allocation and biological nitrogen fixation in a collection of European soybean genotypes☆

Oilseeds and fats, crops and lipids, 2021
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] is the legume with the largest cultivated area worldwide and its yield depends largely on symbiotic nitrogen fixation and root architecture.
