Species phylogeny, ecology, and root traits as predictors of root exudate composition

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2023
Summary Root traits including root exudates are key factors affecting plant interactions with soil and thus play an important role in determining ecosystem processes. The drivers of their variation, however, remain poorly understood. We determined the relative importance of phylogeny and species ecology in determining root traits and analyzed the ...

Quantitative trait loci for seeding root traits and the relationships between root and agronomic traits in common wheat

Genome, 2020
A completely developed and vigorous root system can provide a stable platform for aboveground plant organs. To identify loci controlling root traits that could be used in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding, 199 recombinant inbred lines were used to measure and analyze eight root traits.

Inheritance of Root Traits in Alfalfa

Crop Science, 1996
Root 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

Phenotyping for Root Traits

2015
Root system architecture determines crop capacity to acquire water and nutrients in the dynamic and variable soil environment. Increasing attention is paid to searching for optimal root traits to improve resource uptake efficiency and adaptation to heterogeneous soil conditions.

Root quantity traits: a leading dimension in root trait space

New Phytologist
Summary Plant resource uptake depends on the interplay between the quantity and quality of roots, yet their coordination at the community level remains poorly understood.

Challenges of modifying root traits in crops for agriculture

Trends in Plant Science, 2014
Roots 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

The origin of bi-dimensionality in plant root traits

Trends in Ecology & Evolution
Plant 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.

Evaluation of Brassica root architectural traits

2023
Given the roles of roots in water and nutrient uptake, anchorage, and storage of resources, root system architecture (RSA) can have a major impact on plant growth and development. The root systems of Brassica species, an important group that includes many field and horticultural crops, is complex.
