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.

Genetic analysis of root vascular traits in a population from two temperate japonica rice ecotypes

Plant Production Science, 2022
The genetic basis for root vascular traits in rice, despite its direct impacts on root axial and radial hydraulic conductivity, has not been widely studied compared with deep rooting traits. We used five phenotyping datasets (i.e.

Quantification of aluminum-induced changes in wheat root architecture by X-ray microcomputed tomography [PDF]

, 2016
Root architectural traits are of fundamental importance for plant performance, especially under unfavorable soil conditions. This study examined the effect of aluminum (Al) toxicity in different growing media (nutrient solutions and soil) on root ...

Rapid responses of root traits and productivity to phosphorus and cation additions in a tropical lowland forest in Amazonia.

New Phytologist, 2020
Soil nutrient availability can strongly affect root traits. In tropical forests, phosphorus (P) is often considered the main limiting nutrient for plants.

Linking root exudates to functional plant traits

PLOS ONE, 2018
Primary and secondary metabolites exuded by plant roots have mainly been studied under laboratory conditions, while knowledge of root exudate patterns of plants growing in natural communities is very limited. Focusing on ten common European grassland plant species, we asked to which degree exuded metabolite compositions are specific to species or ...

Assessment of genetic variability, character association, heritability and path analysis in European carrot (Daucus carota var. sativa)

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
Studies of genetic variability and relationship among the 40 genotypes of European carrot (Daucus carota L. var sativa) for important horticultural traits revealed wide range of variability for the traits.

Mechanisms of Surviving Burial: Dune Grass Interspecific Differences Drive Resource Allocation After Sand Deposition [PDF]

, 2018
Sand dunes are important geomorphic formations of coastal ecosystems that are critical in protecting human populations that live in coastal areas. Dune formation is driven by ecomorphodynamic interactions between vegetation and sediment deposition. While

Characterization of pearl millet root architecture and anatomy reveals three types of lateral roots [PDF]

, 2016
Pearl millet plays an important role for food security in arid regions of Africa and India. Nevertheless, it is considered an orphan crop as it lags far behind other cereals in terms of genetic improvement efforts.

Getting to the root of restoration: considering root traits for improved restoration outcomes under drought and competition

Restoration Ecology, 2020
A foundational goal of trait‐based ecology, including trait‐based restoration, is to link specific traits to community assembly, biodiversity, and ecosystem function.

Differences in Root Morphologies of Contrasting Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Genotypes Are Robust of a Drought Treatment

Plants, 2023
We aimed to assess the effect of water deprivation on root traits and to establish if the wheat cultivars Spica and Maringa would be useful as parental germplasm for a genetic analysis of root traits.
