Cadmium and arsenic affect root development in Oryza sativa L. negatively interacting with auxin [PDF]
, 2018 Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As), non essential, but toxic, elements for animals and plants are frequently present in paddy fields. Oryza sativa L., a staple food for at least the half of world population, easily absorbs As and Cd by the root, and in this ...

Root System Architecture and Gravitropism in the Oil Palm [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2000 The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) has a root system consisting of primary (or order 1) roots, which are either orthogravitropic (R1 VD, with positive gravitropism) or diagravitropic (R1 H). Their statenchyma have very similar characteristics (mainly vacuolated, large cells).

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 ...

Quantification of aluminum-induced changes in wheat root architecture by X-ray microcomputed tomography [PDF]
, 2016 Root architectural traits are of fundamental importance for plant performance, especially under unfavorable soil conditions. This study examined the effect of aluminum (Al) toxicity in different growing media (nutrient solutions and soil) on root ...

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.

Crop Journal, 2022 Root system architecture is influenced by gravity. How the root senses gravity and directs its orientation, so-called gravitropism, is not only a fundamental question in plant biology but also theoretically important for genetic improvement of crop root ...

Root system architecture and environmental flux analysis in mature crops using 3D root mesocosms
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Current methods of root sampling typically only obtain small or incomplete sections of root systems and do not capture their true complexity. To facilitate the visualization and analysis of full-sized plant root systems in 3-dimensions, we developed ...
