Variability of root traits in spring wheat germplasm. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Root traits influence the amount of water and nutrient absorption, and are important for maintaining crop yield under drought conditions. The objectives of this research were to characterize variability of root traits among spring wheat genotypes and ...

Genetic analysis of seedling root traits reveals the association of root trait with other agronomic traits in maize [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Root systems play important roles in crop growth and stress responses. Although genetic mechanism of root traits in maize (Zea mays L.) has been investigated in different mapping populations, root traits have rarely been utilized in breeding ...

From the Ground Up: Can Root Traits Help Understand Invasion Dynamics? [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Trait‐based comparisons of invasive and native plants have advanced our understanding of invasion mechanisms, but most focus on aboveground traits, overlooking the influence of root traits. In this mini‐review, we synthesize existing research to evaluate

Root morphological and physiological traits and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi shape phosphorus-acquisition strategies of 12 vegetable species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Trait plasticity and integration mediate vegetable adaptive strategies. However, it is unclear how patterns of vegetables in root traits influence vegetable adaptation to different phosphorus (P) levels.

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 ...

Genome-Wide Association Study of Topsoil Root System Architecture in Field-Grown Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Water and nutrient acquisition is a critical function of plant root systems. Root system architecture (RSA) traits are often complex and controlled by many genes.

Marker-trait association study for root-related traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2021
Root structure modification can improve important agronomic traits including yield, drought tolerance and nutrient deficiency resistance. The aim of the present study was to investigate the diversity of root traits and to find simple sequence repeat (SSR)
