Elucidating the genomic regions through genome-wide association study (GWAS) for root traits in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp) mini-core collection

Plant Stress
Enhancing the root traits through selection and breeding efforts can significantly improve the acquisition of soil resources, consequently boosting crop production in marginal environments.

Root developmental responses to heterogeneous water and nitrogen supply [PDF]

, 2012
Better understanding of the interaction between the soil physical properties determining water and nitrate availability and the root proliferation and gene expression components of nutrient acquisition could contribute to food security, but may have been

Temporal phenotypic variation of spinach root traits and its relation to shoot performance

Scientific Reports
The root system is important for the growth and development of spinach. To reveal the temporal variability of the spinach root system, root traits of 40 spinach accessions were measured at three imaging times (20, 30, and 43 days after transplanting) in ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Intraspecific variation in fine-root traits is larger than in aboveground traits in European herbaceous species regardless of drought

Frontiers in Plant Science
Differences within species (Intraspecific trait variation - ITV) contribute substantially to overall trait variability and environmental harshness can reduce among-species variation.

Characterising shoot and root system trait variability and contribution to genotypic variability in juvenile cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) plants

Heliyon, 2018
The development of cassava genotypes with root system traits that increase soil resource acquisition could increase yields on infertile soils but there are relatively few work that has quantified cassava root system architecture (RSA).

Flooding-adaptive root and shoot traits in rice [PDF]

Functional Plant Biology
Wetland plants, including rice (Oryza spp.), have developed multiple functional adaptive traits to survive soil flooding, partial submergence or even complete submergence. In waterlogged soils and under water, diffusion of O2 and CO2 is extremely slow with severe impacts on photosynthesis and respiration.
