Sequestration of C in soils under Miscanthus can be marginal and is affected by genotype-specific root distribution [PDF]
, 2015 Miscanthus is a low input energy crop suitable for low fertility marginal arable land and thought to provide carbon sequestration in soil. We analysed a long-term field experiment (14-year) to determine whether differences in genotype, growth habit, and ...

Water Uptake along the Length of Grapevine Fine Roots: Developmental Anatomy, Tissue-Specific Aquaporin Expression, and Pathways of Water Transport [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2013 Abstract To better understand water uptake patterns in root systems of woody perennial crops, we detailed the developmental anatomy and hydraulic physiology along the length of grapevine (Vitis berlandieri × Vitis rupestris) fine roots from the tip to secondary growth zones.

Fine root respiration is more strongly correlated with root traits than tree species identity
Ecosphere, 2019 Carbon allocated to roots accounts for a large portion of net primary productivity, but the fate of that carbon is poorly understood. Absorptive fine roots are the primary way in which plants acquire nutrients.

Fine Root Traits of Pinus koraiensis Varied with Soil Cation Exchange Capacity in Natural Forests
Land, 2021 Adaptation of fine root plasticity to soil nutrients heterogeneity in natural forest ecosystems has not been well explored. The study aimed to determine seasonal variations of fine root traits in Pinus koraiensis natural forests and explore the ...

Development of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-derived specific primer for the detection of Fusarium solani aetiological agent of peanut brown root rot [PDF]
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2013 The objective of this work was to design an amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-derived specific primer for the detection of Fusarium solani aetiological agent of peanut brown root rot (PBRR) in plant material and soil.Specific primers for the detection of the pathogen were designed based on an amplified region using AFLPs.
