Towards a multidimensional root trait framework: a tree root review [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2016
SummaryThe search for a root economics spectrum (RES) has been sparked by recent interest in trait‐based plant ecology. By analogy with the one‐dimensional leaf economics spectrum (LES), fine‐root traits are hypothesised to match leaf traits which are coordinated along one axis from resource acquisitive to conservative traits.

Role of Root Traits and Root Phenotyping in Drought Tolerance

International Journal of Environment and Climate Change, 2022
The spatial distribution of all root parts in a particular growth environment is collectively referred to as root system architecture (RSA). Root length, cortical cell file number, number of roots and cell size help in determining water uptake ability among various root types as an adaptation strategy under dry conditions.

Root biomass and root morphological traits of three shrub species: Implications for the soil anti-scouring resistance of the ecological slope.

PLoS ONE, 2023
The purpose of this study was to determine which shrub species will enhance soil anti-scouring resistance on an ecological slope. Root traits and soil anti-scouring resistance of three shrubs (Amorpha fruticosa Linn (AFL), Swida alba Opiz (SAO) and ...

Root morphological and physiological traits are committed to the phosphorus acquisition of the desert plants in phosphorus-deficient soils

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Phosphorus (P) deficiency in desert ecosystems is widespread. Generally, desert species may allocate an enormous proportion of photosynthetic carbon to their root systems to adjust their P-acquisition strategies.

PGPR Mediated Alterations in Root Traits: Way Toward Sustainable Crop Production

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
The above ground growth of the plant is highly dependent on the belowground root system. Rhizosphere is the zone of continuous interplay between plant roots and soil microbial communities. Plants, through root exudates, attract rhizosphere microorganisms

Root traits contributing to plant productivity under drought

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Geneticists and breeders are positioned to breed plants with root traits that improve productivity under drought. However, a better understanding of root functional traits and how traits are related to whole plant strategies to increase crop productivity

The resilience of rice under water stress will be driven by better roots: Evidence from root phenotyping, physiological, and yield experiments

Plant Stress, 2023
Rice is the principal food grain crop of the world, grown on over 164 million hectares. Water is an important production constraint in food crops. Till recently, crop breeding efforts have mainly focused on the shoot, whereas most of the major drivers of
