Roots’ Drought Adaptive Traits in Crop Improvement

Plants, 2022
Drought is one of the biggest concerns in agriculture due to the projected reduction of global freshwater supply with a concurrent increase in global food demand. Roots can significantly contribute to improving drought adaptation and productivity. Plants increase water uptake by adjusting root architecture and cooperating with symbiotic soil microbes ...

Root architecture and leaf photosynthesis traits and associations with nitrogen-use efficiency in landrace-derived lines in wheat [PDF]

, 2022
Root system architecture (RSA) is important in optimizing the use of nitrogen. High-throughput phenotyping techniques may be used to study root system architecture traits under controlled environments.

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 ...

Shoot yield drives phosphorus use efficiency in Brassica oleracea and correlates with root architecture traits [PDF]

, 2009
The environmental and financial costs of using inorganic phosphate fertilizers to maintain crop yield and quality are high. Breeding crops that acquire and use phosphorus (P) more efficiently could reduce these costs.

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 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.
