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 ...

Global Root Traits (GRooT) Database [PDF]

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020
Motivation Trait data are fundamental to quantitatively describe plant form and function. Although root traits capture key dimensions related to plant responses to changing environmental conditions and effects on ecosystem processes, they have rarely ...

Semifield root phenotyping: Root traits for deep nitrate uptake [PDF]

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2021
AbstractDeep rooting winter wheat genotypes can reduce nitrate leaching losses and increase N uptake. We aimed to investigate which deep root traits are correlated to deep N uptake and to estimate genetic variation in root traits and deep 15N tracer uptake.

Root porosity contributes to root trait space of wetland monocotyledons independently of economics traits [PDF]

Plant and Soil, 2021
Abstract Aims Root aerenchyma, a key adaptive trait to anoxic soils has rarely been integrated into trait-based plant ecology. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between root porosity and root economics-related traits among wetland plants, focusing on the effect of aerenchyma on root tissue density, a central trait in plant economics ...

Tree growth is better explained by absorptive fine root traits than by transport fine root traits. [PDF]

Commun Biol
AbstractQuantifying plant trait variation yields insights into trade-offs inherent in the ecological strategies of plants and is the basis for a trait-based prediction of plant performance and ecosystem functioning. Although the interest in root traits has increased in recent years, we still have limited knowledge of i) whether functionally different ...

Genome-Wide Association Studies of Seven Root Traits in Soybean (Glycine max L.) Landraces

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], an important oilseed crop, is a low-cost source of protein and oil. In Southeast Asia and Africa, soybeans are widely cultivated for use as traditional food and feed and industrial purposes.

Root traits with team benefits: understanding belowground interactions in intercropping systems

Plant and Soil, 2021
The potential benefits of intercropping are manifold and have been repeatedly demonstrated. Intercropping has the potential to create more productive and resilient agroecosystems, by improving land utilisation, yield and yield stability, soil quality ...

Environmental variation drives the decoupling of leaf and root traits within species along an elevation gradient.

Annals of Botany, 2022
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plant performance is enhanced by balancing above- and belowground resource uptake through the adjustment of leaf and root traits. It is assumed that these organ adjustments are at least partly coordinated, so that analogous leaf and ...

Root traits for infertile soils [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Crop production is often restricted by the availability of essential mineral elements. For example, the availability of N, P, K, and S limits low-input agriculture, the phytoavailability of Fe, Zn, and Cu limits crop production on alkaline and calcareous soils, and P, Mo, Mg, Ca, and K deficiencies, together with proton, Al and Mn toxicities, limit ...
