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

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 and microbial community interactions in relation to phosphorus availability and acquisition, with particular reference to Brassica [PDF]
, 2014 Brassicas are among the most widely grown and important crops worldwide. Phosphorus (P) is a key mineral element in the growth of all plants and is largely supplied as inorganic rock-phosphate, a dwindling resource, which is likely to be an increasingly ...

Independent evolution of leaf and root traits within and among temperate grassland plant communities [PDF]
, 2011 In this study, we used data from temperate grassland plant communities in Alberta, Canada to test two longstanding hypotheses in ecology: 1) that there has been correlated evolution of the leaves and roots of plants due to selection for an integrated ...

Root respiration and other four classical root traits
, 2020 This dataset is relevant to species specific root respiration and other four classical root traits (root N concentration, root diameter, root tissue density and specific root length).We aim to explore the relationships between root respiration and other ...

Root Traits and Phenotyping Strategies for Plant Improvement [PDF]
Plants, 2015 Roots are crucial for nutrient and water acquisition and can be targeted to enhance plant productivity under a broad range of growing conditions. A current challenge for plant breeding is the limited ability to phenotype and select for desirable root characteristics due to their underground location.

High-throughput phenotyping of seminal root traits in wheat [PDF]
, 2015 Water availability is a major limiting factor for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in rain-fed agricultural systems worldwide. Root system architecture has important functional implications for the timing and extent of soil water extraction, yet ...
