Natural genetic variation of root system architecture from Arabidopsis to Brachypodium : towards adaptive value

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012
Root system architecture is a trait that displays considerable plasticity because of its sensitivity to environmental stimuli. Nevertheless, to a significant degree it is genetically constrained as suggested by surveys of its natural genetic variation. A

Adventitious lateral rooting: the plasticity of root system architecture

Physiologia Plantarum, 2018
Root formation under natural conditions is plastic in response to multiple signals. Recent studies suggested that theWUSCHEL‐RELATED HOMEOBOX11(WOX11)‐mediated adventitious root formation pathway can occur in the primary root (PR) inArabidopsis thaliana, resulting in the production of a specific type of lateral roots (LRs) in response to wounding or ...

NO and ROS implications in the organization of root system architecture

Physiologia Plantarum, 2020
Over the past decades the role of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in signaling and cellular responses to stress has witnessed an exponential trend line. Despite advances in the subject, our knowledge of the role of NO and ROS as regulators of stress and plant growth and their implication in signaling pathways is still partial.

Root System Architecture

2010
Abstract Plants develop most organs post-embryonically, which allows the incorporation of environmental information into decisions concerning when and where to produce new organs. This developmental plasticity is evident in the plant root system, which in dicotyledonous plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana is mostly comprised of lateral and ...

Modelling Root System Growth and Architecture

2000
For any complex system, and particularly for the root system interacting with the rest of the plant and the environment, a model can be a helpful tool for synthesising knowledge to produce more global representations and for testing hypotheses on the interacting mechanisms derived from experimental results.

Root system architecture in rice: impacts of genes, phytohormones and root microbiota

3 Biotech, 2022
To feed the continuously expanding world's population, new crop varieties have been generated, which significantly contribute to the world's food security. However, the growth of these improved plant varieties relies primarily on synthetic fertilizers, which negatively affect the environment and human health; therefore, continuous improvement is needed

ArchiSimple: A parsimonious model of the root system architecture

2012 IEEE 4th International Symposium on Plant Growth Modeling, Simulation, Visualization and Applications, 2012
Models of the root system architecture are useful tools for studying the plant soil system, and many of these models have been published during the last decades. They capture several specific and interesting characteristics: (i) they simulate both the structure and spatial distribution of the root system; (ii) they allow a straightforward integration ...

Modelling Root System Architecture: Experimental Data on Maize Root System Geometry

1991
ABSTRACT The arrangement of primary roots around the maize stem and their trajectories in the soil were studied in a deep loamy field with a favourable structure. The angles between roots around the stem were measured in 63 plants. The trajectories of 29 roots visible on profile walls were drawn on horizontal and vertical planes and then digitized ...

Fractal Characterization of Root System Architecture

Functional Ecology, 1992
1. The fractal dimensions of seedling root systems of two grasses and two dicots growing in situ against glass sheets have been measured using the dividers method. Values were mostly below 1.5. 2. D was little affected by nutrient supply in Trifolium pratense, but differed significantly between four other species. 3.
