Physiological, anatomical and quality indexes of root tuber formation and development in chayote (Sechium edule)
BackgroundChayote is an underutilized species of Cucurbitaceae. It is rich in nutrients such as protein, minerals, phenols and its extracts have...

Modeling cassava root system architecture and the underlying dynamics in shoot–root carbon allocation during the early storage root bulking stage
Background and aimsPlants store carbohydrates for later use during, e.g., night, drought, and recovery after stress. Carbon allocation presents the...

Root xylem in three woody angiosperm species is not more vulnerable to embolism than stem xylem
AimsSince plants are compartmentalised organisms, failure of their hydraulic transport system could differ between organs. We test here whether xylem...

Root Hair Imaging Using Confocal Microscopy
Plant genetics plays a key role in determining root hair initiation and development. A complex network of genetic interactions therefore closely...

Morphological and physiological plasticity of Catalpa bungei roots under partial root-zone drought as affected by nitrogen forms
A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate root plasticity and drought responses of Catalpa bungei under partial root-zone drought as affected...

SHORT-ROOT stabilizes PHOSPHATE1 to regulate phosphate allocation in Arabidopsis
The coordinated distribution of inorganic phosphate (Pi) between roots and shoots is an important process that plants use to maintain Pi homeostasis....

Laurel wilt susceptibility of three avocado (Persea americana Mill.) ecotypes in relation to xylem anatomy, sap flow and leaf gas exchange
Key messageRelative susceptibility to laurel wilt among clonal, non-grafted avocado trees of different ecotypes is relate to the xylem vessel...

Alterations in the root phenylpropanoid pathway and root–shoot vessel system as main determinants of the drought tolerance of a soybean genotype
Climate change increases precipitation variability, particularly in savanna environments. We have used integrative strategies to understand the...

Exploring glycine root uptake dynamics in phosphorus and iron deficient tomato plants during the initial stages of plant development
BackgroundPhosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) deficiencies are relevant plants nutritional disorders, prompting responses such as increased root exudation...

Arabidopsis class II TPS controls root development and confers salt stress tolerance through enhanced hydrophobic barrier deposition
Key messageThe mechanism of conferring salt tolerance by AtTPS9 involves enhanced deposition of suberin lamellae in the Arabidopsis root endodermis,...

Role of sucrose and phloem–xylem interaction in recovery of water status and hydraulic dehydration impacts in tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum)
The role of phloem–xylem interaction via sucrose exchanges in recovery of dehydration impacts, specifically xylem embolism, has not been directly...
-
Tree growth performance and xylem functional arrangements of Macrolobium Schreb. (Fabaceae) in different wetland forests in the Central Amazon basin
Key messageScarcity or excess water modulates the growth of Macrolobium spp. in different Amazonian wetlands. The trees developed different xylem...
-
Photosynthetic efficiency and root plasticity promote drought tolerance in coffee genotypes
The plant breeding programs (PBP) of coffee plants ( Coffea arabica L.) are always looking for new genotypes that perform better under water deficit....

Isolation and Reproductive Structures Induction of Fungal Pathogens Associated with Xylem and Wood Necrosis in Grapevine
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) trunk diseases (GTDs) are considered a disease complex including five diseases: esca, Petri disease, black-foot...

Laser ablation tomography monitors lateral root development in maize: a pictorial-based study case
Laser ablation tomography (LAT) is a novel cutting-edge imaging technique used to investigate root geometrical and anatomical traits with no or...
-
Differences in xylem response to drought provide hints to future species selection
The long-term impacts of summer drought and high temperatures on xylem traits of conifers are scarcely investigated, even though such traits can play...
-
Theoretical considerations regarding the functional anatomical traits of primary and secondary xylem in dragon tree trunk using the example of Dracaena draco
Main conclusionIn Dracaena draco trunks, the primary and secondary xylem conduits co-function. Both are resistant to embolism; however, secondary...

Silicon: Transcellular and Apoplastic Absorption and Transport in the Xylem
Silicon (Si) is a beneficial element for plants, which helps mitigate various biotic and abiotic stresses. Under similar conditions, plant species...
-
Drought- and soil substrate-induced variations in root nonstructural carbohydrates result from fine root morphological and anatomical traits of Juglans mandshurica seedlings
BackgroundNonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) reflect the carbon supply status and affect the construction and development of plants. Previous studies...

Earthworms and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Alleviated Salt Stress in Maize Seedlings by Regulating the Root Endodermis Diffusion Barrier
Under salt stress, the root system is the first barrier in plant resistance. Endodermal suberin in plant roots can act as a diffusion barrier to...
