Inheritance of Root Traits in Alfalfa
Crop Science, 1996Root growth patterns influence nutrient uptake, productivity, and persistence in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Inheritance of traits affecting root growth patterns in alfalfa are not well understood. Objectives of this research were to determine the affects of plant spacing and geographic location on root traits in alfalfa, to determine the inheritance

Going Underground: Root Traits as Drivers of Ecosystem Processes
Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Ecologists are increasingly adopting trait-based approaches to understand how community change influences ecosystem processes. However, most of this research has focussed on aboveground plant traits, whereas it is becoming clear that root traits are ...

Challenges of modifying root traits in crops for agriculture
Trends in Plant Science, 2014Roots play an essential role in the acquisition of water and minerals from soils. Measuring crop root architecture and assaying for changes in function can be challenging, but examples have emerged showing that modifications to roots result in higher yield and increased stress tolerance. In this review, we focus mainly on the molecular genetic advances

Genetic analysis of root morphological traits in wheat
Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2014Traits related to root architecture are of great importance for yield performance of crop species, although they remain poorly understood. The present study is aimed at identifying the genomic regions involved in the control of root morphological traits in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.).

The origin of bi-dimensionality in plant root traits
Trends in Ecology & EvolutionPlant roots show extraordinary diversity in form and function in heterogeneous environments. Mounting evidence has shown global bi-dimensionality in root traits, the root economics spectrum (RES), and an orthogonal dimension describing mycorrhizal collaboration; however, the origin of the bi-dimensionality remains unresolved.
