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.).

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 ...

Nitrogen forms affect root structure and water uptake in the hybrid poplar [PDF]
, 2011 The study analyses the effects of two different forms of nitrogen fertilisation (nitrate and ammonium) on root structure and water uptake of two hybrid poplar (Populus maximowiczii x P. balsamifera) clones in a field experiment.

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

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

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.

Food for thought: how nutrients regulate root system architecture [PDF]
, 2017 The spatial arrangement of the plant root system (root system architecture, RSA) is very sensitive to edaphic and endogenous signals that report on the nutrient status of soil and plant.
