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 ...

Temporal phenotypic variation of spinach root traits and its relation to shoot performance [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The root system is important for the growth and development of spinach. To reveal the temporal variability of the spinach root system, root traits of 40 spinach accessions were measured at three imaging times (20, 30, and 43 days after transplanting) in ...

Intraspecific variation in fine-root traits is larger than in aboveground traits in European herbaceous species regardless of drought [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Differences within species (Intraspecific trait variation - ITV) contribute substantially to overall trait variability and environmental harshness can reduce among-species variation.

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 ...

Global root traits (GRooT) database [PDF]

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020
Abstract Motivation Trait data are fundamental to the quantitative description of 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 been included in large ...

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.

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

Commun Biol
Abstract Quantifying 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.

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 ...

Getting to the root of grafting-induced traits

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2021
Grafting is an ancient technique that involves the physical joining of genotypically distinct shoot and root systems, in order to achieve a desirable compound plant. This practice is widely used in modern agriculture to improve biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, modify plant architecture, induce precocious flowering and rejuvenate old perennial ...
