Genomic Regions Influencing Seminal Root Traits in Barley

The Plant Genome, 2016
Water availability is a major limiting factor for crop production, making drought adaptation and its many component traits a desirable attribute of plant cultivars. Previous studies in cereal crops indicate that root traits expressed at early plant developmental stages, such as seminal root angle and root number, are associated ...

Is there coordination of leaf and fine root traits at local scales? A test in temperate forest swamps

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Examining the coordination of leaf and fine root traits not only aids a better understanding of plant ecological strategies from a whole‐plant perspective, but also helps improve the prediction of belowground properties from aboveground traits.

Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat [PDF]

, 2015
Seedling root traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have been shown to be important for efficient establishment and linked to mature plant traits such as height and yield.

Block Copolymers: Emerging Building Blocks for Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review addresses how block copolymer (BCP) physics and rheology have led to the widespread use of BCPs in advanced additive manufacturing techniques, with particular emphasis on the untapped potential of these nanostructured materials toward achieving multi‐scale architected materials with unique, programmable material properties.

Components of phenotypic variance and heritability of early vigour traits of bread wheat under contrasting water regimes [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade)
Exploring drought-tolerance potential and phenotypic plasticity at early stages of development in root system architecture could be crucial in regard to breeding for drought resistance and for selecting wheat ideotypes under climate change conditions.

Roots and Compost, - organic crop production under reduced nutrient availability [PDF]

With plans to phase out manure import from conventional farms, it will become increasingly difficult to secure plant nutrients for organic crops. In the RoCo project we will address this problem through three approaches: 1) study variation in root growth

A gene-derived SNP-based high resolution linkage map of carrot including the location of QTL conditioning root and leaf anthocyanin pigmentation [PDF]

, 2014
Purple carrots accumulate large quantities of anthocyanins in their roots and leaves. These flavonoid pigments possess antioxidant activity and are implicated in providing health benefits.

Fine-root traits are linked to species dynamics in a successional plant community.

Ecology, 2019
Despite the importance of fine roots for the acquisition of soil resources such as nitrogen and water, the study of linkages between traits and both population and community dynamics remains focused on aboveground traits.

Predicting Atomic Charges in MOFs by Topological Charge Equilibration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An atomic charge prediction method is presented that is able to accurately reproduce ab‐initio‐derived reference charges for a large number of metal–organic frameworks. Based on a topological charge equilibration scheme, static charges that fulfill overall neutrality are quickly generated.

Flooding-adaptive root and shoot traits in rice [PDF]

Functional Plant Biology
Wetland plants, including rice (Oryza spp.), have developed multiple functional adaptive traits to survive soil flooding, partial submergence or even complete submergence. In waterlogged soils and under water, diffusion of O2 and CO2 is extremely slow with severe impacts on photosynthesis and respiration.
