Root system architecture in cereals: progress, challenges, and perspective.

The Plant Journal, 2022
Roots are essential multifunctional plant organs involved in water and nutrient uptake, metabolite storage, anchorage, mechanical support, and interaction with the soil environment.

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 ...

Responses of root system architecture to water stress at multiple levels: A meta-analysis of trials under controlled conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plants are exposed to increasingly severe drought events and roots play vital roles in maintaining plant survival, growth, and reproduction. A large body of literature has investigated the adaptive responses of root traits in various plants to water ...

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

Root system architecture reorganization under decreasing soil phosphorus lowers root system conductance of Zea mays. [PDF]

Ann Bot
Abstract 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 ...

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 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.

Objective Phenotyping of Root System Architecture Using Image Augmentation and Machine Learning in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

Plant Phenomics, 2022
Active breeding programs specifically for root system architecture (RSA) phenotypes remain rare; however, breeding for branch and taproot types in the perennial crop alfalfa is ongoing.
