PIN Transcriptional Regulation Shapes Root System Architecture [PDF]

Trends in Plant Science, 2016
Regulation of auxin distribution by PIN transporters is key in the dynamic modulation of root growth and branching. Three novel papers shed light on an intricate network through which several hormones and transcriptional regulators collectively fine-tune the transcriptional level of these auxin transporters in the root.

Root system architecture in cereals: progress, challenges and perspective [PDF]

The Plant Journal, 2022
SUMMARY Roots are essential multifunctional plant organs involved in water and nutrient uptake, metabolite storage, anchorage, mechanical support, and interaction with the soil environment. Understanding of this ‘hidden half’ provides potential for manipulation of root system architecture (RSA) traits to optimize resource use ...

Screening of Soybean Genotypes Based on Root Morphology and Shoot Traits Using the Semi-Hydroponic Phenotyping Platform and Rhizobox Technique

Agronomy, 2021
Root-system architecture is vital for improving soybean (Glycine max L.) growth and nutrient uptake. We characterised root-system architecture and shoot traits of 30 soybean genotypes in a semi-hydroponic system 35 days after sowing (DAS) and validated ...

Rice Genotypes Express Compensatory Root Growth With Altered Root Distributions in Response to Root Cutting

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Root systems play a pivotal role in water and nutrient uptake from soil. Lateral root (LR) growth is promoted to compensate for inhibited main root growth.

ADVENTITIOUS ROOTS DEVELOPMENT AND ROOT SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE OF CHRYSANTHEMUM CUTTINGS

Journal of Plant Development, 2018
Chrysanthemum have significant ornamental value and thus have a great economic importance and are also subjected to losses due to the insufficient rooting of the cuttings - the main method of vegetative propagation practiced for this crop. Insufficient understanding of the mechanisms that control adventitious root formation prevents the use of reliable

Heuristic Aspect of the Lateral Root Initiation Index: A Case Study of the Role of Nitric Oxide in Root Branching

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2013
Premise of the study: Lateral root (LR) initiation (LRI) is a central process in root branching. Based on LR and/or LR primordium densities, it has been shown that nitric oxide (NO) promotes LRI.

The Physiological Role of Abscisic Acid in Regulating Root System Architecture of Alfalfa in Its Adaptation to Water Deficit

Agronomy, 2022
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a perennial leguminous plant, with a strong tap root system that plays an important role in alfalfa’s adaptation to drought stress.

Untapping root system architecture for crop improvement [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2016
Drought leads to greater yield loss in crops than any other abiotic stress. Roots form a plant’s first line of defense against water deficit, and in this issue Gao and Lynch (pages 4533–4546) report that fewer but longer crown roots facilitate water acquisition from subsoil and thus improve drought tolerance in maize.

Analysis of Root System Architecture Affected by Swarming Behavior

Journal of Horticultural Research, 2020
The root system architecture (RSA) displays complex morphological characteristics because of diverse root growth behaviors. Recent studies have revealed that swarming behavior among roots is particularly important for RSA to adapt to environmental ...
