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

Phosphate Solubilizing Rhizobacteria Could Have a Stronger Influence on Wheat Root Traits and Aboveground Physiology Than Rhizosphere P Solubilization

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Limited P availability in several agricultural areas is one of the key challenges facing current agriculture. Exploiting P-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) has been an emerging bio-solution for a higher rhizosphere P-availability, meanwhile the above- and ...

Grounding trait‐based root functional ecology

Functional Ecology, 2023
A growing need exists to consider effects of biodiversity dynamics on the functioning of natural and anthropised ecosystems. This requires including the concepts of functional ecology, especially comparative trait-based ecology, in a broad range of theoretical and applied studies.

Rice root genetic architecture: Meta-analysis from a drought QTL database [PDF]

, 2009
During the last 10 years, a large number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling rice root morphological parameters have been detected in several mapping populations by teams interested in improving drought resistance in rice.

Climate and soil nutrients differentially drive multidimensional fine root traits in ectomycorrhizal‐dominated alpine coniferous forests

Journal of Ecology, 2020
Fine root traits vary greatly with environmental changes, but the understanding of root trait variation and its drivers is limited over broad geographical scales, especially for ectomycorrhizal (ECM)‐dominated conifers in alpine forests.

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

Drought affects the coordination of belowground and aboveground resource‐related traits in Solidago canadensis in China

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Quantifying patterns of variation and coordination of plant functional traits can help to understand the mechanisms underlying both invasiveness and adaptation of plants.

Variation in fine root traits with thinning intensity in a Chinese fir plantation insights from branching order and functional groups

Scientific Reports, 2021
Thinning is a widely used practice in forest management, but the acclimation mechanisms of fine roots to forest thinning are still unclear. We examined the variations in fine root traits of different branching orders and functional groups along a ...

Phosphorus facilitation and covariation of root traits in steppe species.

New Phytologist, 2020
Different phosphorus (P)-acquisition strategies may be relevant for species coexistence and plant performance in terrestrial communities on P-deficient soils. However, how interspecific P facilitation functions in natural systems is largely unknown.
