Above- and belowground herbivory jointly impact defense and seed dispersal traits in Taraxacum officinale [PDF]

, 2014
Plants are able to cope with herbivores by inducing defensive traits or growth responses that allow them to reduce or avoid the impact of herbivores. Since above- and belowground herbivores differ substantially in life-history traits, for example feeding

Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat [PDF]

, 2015
Seedling root traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have been shown to be important for efficient establishment and linked to mature plant traits such as height and yield.

Genomic prediction of yield and root development in wheat under changing water availability

Plant Methods, 2020
Background Deeper roots help plants take up available resources in deep soil ensuring better growth and higher yields under conditions of drought. A large-scale semi-field root phenotyping facility was developed to allow a water availability gradient and

Phenotyping, genome‐wide dissection, and prediction of maize root architecture for temperate adaptability

iMeta
Root System Architecture (RSA) plays an essential role in influencing maize yield by enhancing anchorage and nutrient uptake. Analyzing maize RSA dynamics holds potential for ideotype‐based breeding and prediction, given the limited understanding of the ...

Plant Nutrient Contents Rather Than Physical Traits Are Coordinated Between Leaves and Roots in a Desert Shrubland

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Although leaf economics spectrum (LES) has been extensively tested with regional and global datasets, the correlation among functional traits of desert plants remains largely unclear.

Characterizing Root Morphological Traits in 65 Genotypes of Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L.) from Four Different Ecological Regions in China

Agronomy, 2022
As an indispensable grain crop, foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is becoming a functional food in China because of its abundant nutrients. However, low rainfall and uneven precipitation limit its growth and production, especially in northwest China ...
