Genetic manipulation of root system architecture to improve drought adaptation in sorghum

, 2016
Drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses and severely affects global agricultural production. Root system architecture (RSA) is the key determinant of water acquisition under moisture stress, and therefore has utility in breeding for drought

Evaluation of Root System Architecture (RSA) of Oat (Avena sativa L.) Genotypes

, 2019
Root systems play an essential role in plant by allowing the plant to absorb water and nutrient from the soil. Root system architecture (RSA) describes the spatial arrangement of a root system in the soil, the overall shape and structure of the root ...

Root architecture simulation improves the inference from seedling root phenotyping towards mature root systems

, 2017
Root phenotyping provides trait information for plant breeding. A shortcoming of high-throughput root phenotyping is the limitation to seedling plants and failure to make inferences on mature root systems. We suggest root system architecture (RSA) models

BZR1 and BES1 transcription factors mediate brassinosteroid control over root system architecture in response to nitrogen availability

Frontiers in Plant Science
Plants modify their root system architecture (RSA) in response to nitrogen (N) deficiency. The plant steroidal hormone, brassinosteroid (BR), plays important roles in root growth and development.

Assessing Root System Architecture of Wheat Seedlings Using A High-Throughput Root Phenotyping System [PDF]

, 2019
Background and aims Root system architecture is a vital part of the plant that has been shown to vary between species and within species based on response to genotypic and/or environmental influences.

Genetic dissection of the root system architecture QTLome and its relationship with early shoot development, breeding and adaptation in durum wheat

The Plant Genome
Root system architecture (RSA), shoot architecture, and shoot‐to‐root biomass allocation are critical for optimizing crop water and nutrient capture and ultimately grain yield.

Subsoiling with straw return optimizes the maize root system and water productivity

Agricultural Water Management
Long-term conventional tillage exacerbates subsoil compaction, restricting root penetration and water and nutrient uptake. Although subsoiling is known to mitigate plough pan formation, the interactive effects of tillage and straw return on root system ...

The genetic basis of nitrogen-dependent root system architecture in plants

Plant roots are crucial for nitrogen uptake. To efficiently acquire N, root system architecture (RSA), which includes the length and quantity of primary roots, lateral roots and root hairs, is dynamically regulated by the surrounding N status. For crops,

Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping Reveals Regions of the Maize Genome Controlling Root System Architecture. [PDF]

, 2014
Root system architecture (RSA) is the spatial distribution of roots of individual plants. As part of a collaborative effort I adapted a gellan gum based system for imaging and phenotyping of root systems in maize.
