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.

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 ...

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 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.

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.

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

Phenotyping Tomato Root Developmental Plasticity in Response to Salinity in Soil Rhizotrons

Plant Phenomics, 2021
Plants have developed multiple strategies to respond to salt stress. In order to identify new traits related to salt tolerance, with potential breeding application, the research focus has recently been shifted to include root system architecture (RSA ...

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

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.).
