Fine-Root Traits Reveal Contrasting Ecological Strategies in European Beech and Norway Spruce During Extreme Drought

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Trees adjust multiple structural and functional organ-specific characteristics, “traits”, to cope with diverse soil conditions. Studies on traits are widely used to uncover ecological species adaptability to varying environments.

Intraspecific variation in root and leaf traits and leaf-root trait linkages in eight aspen demes (<i>Populus tremula</i> and <i>P. tremuloides</i>)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Leaf and fine root morphology and physiology have been found to vary considerably among tree species, but not much is known about intraspecific variation in root traits and their relatedness to leaf traits.

Above- and below-ground competition in high and low irradiance: tree seedling responses to a competing liana Byttneria grandifolia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
: In tropical forests, trees compete not only with other trees, but also with lianas, which may limit tree growth and regeneration. Liana effects may depend on the availability of above- and below-ground resources and differ between tree species.

Relationships between root exudation and root morphological and architectural traits vary with growing season

open access: yesTree Physiology, 2023
Plants allocate a substantial amount of C belowground for root exudates and for the construction and adjustment of root morphological and architectural traits.

Sowing Density: A Neglected Factor Fundamentally Affecting Root Distribution and Biomass Allocation of Field Grown Spring Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Studies on the function of root traits and the genetic variation in these traits are often conducted under controlled conditions using individual potted plants.

Root phenotypes of young wheat plants grown in controlled environments show inconsistent correlation with mature root traits in the field

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2020
Root traits of young, vegetative plants grown in four controlled-environment screens were correlated with mature root traits measured from field-grown plants; correlations were few and inconsistent across trials and season.

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

Identifying seedling root architectural traits associated with yield and yield components in wheat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background and Aims: Plant roots growing underground are critical for soil resource acquisition, anchorage and plant-environment interactions. In wheat (Triticum aestivum), however, the target root traits to improve yield potential still remain largely ...

Roots Structure and Development of Austrobaileya scandens (Austrobaileyaceae) and Implications for Their Evolution in Angiosperms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Since the resolution of the ANA grade [Amborellales, Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales] as sister to all other flowering plants, a few comparative studies of root structure have suggested that some of their anatomical traits could be of importance to ...

Topography as a factor driving small-scale variation in tree fine root traits and root functional diversity in a species-rich tropical montane forest.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2020
(1) We investigated the variation in tree fine root traits and their functional diversity along a local topographic gradient in a Neotropical montane forest to test if fine root trait variation along the gradient is consistent with the predictions of the
