Improving Nitrogen Acquisition and Utilization Through Root Architecture Remodelling: Insight from Legumes
In crop species, nutrient deficiency severely damages plant growth and developmental processes, leading to end-yield penalties. Root architecture...
-
Regulation of Root Tissue Size and Adaptations to Hypoxia
Soil flooding restricts gas exchange between the air and the soil. Thus, the oxygen level gradually decreases in the soil through the respiration of...
-
An overall review on influence of root architecture on soil carbon sequestration potential
Soil carbon sequestration is a vital ecosystem function that mitigates climate change by absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Root...

Control of coptis root rot by combination of Bacillus cereus isolate Y9 and other antagonistic microorganisms
Root rot is a destructive soil-borne disease of Coptis chinensis , which depends on chemical control at present, and more attention should be paid to...
-
Maize, wheat, and soybean root traits depend upon soil phosphorus fertility and mycorrhizal status
Strong effects of plant identity, soil nutrient availability or mycorrhizal fungi on root traits have been well documented, but their interactive...
