An Experimental Rhizobox System for the Integrative Analysis of Root Development and Abiotic Stress Responses Under Water-Deficit Conditions
The study of root growth and plasticity in situ is rendered difficult by the opacity and mechanical barrier of soil substrates. Therefore, for the...
-
Growth of Arabidopsis thaliana in rhizobox culture system evaluated through the lens of root microbiome
AimsThe present study provides an insight on physiological parameters and root-associated microbiome of two complementary Arabidopsis thaliana ...

Deeper root distribution and optimized root anatomy help improve dryland wheat yield and water use efficiency under low water conditions
Background and aimDeep roots are important for crops to access water when the topsoil is dry. Root anatomy and activity play an important role in...
-
Temporary growth cessation of wheat roots following defoliation
Background and aimsDefoliation triggers the remobilisation of root reserves to generate new leaves which can affect root growth until the shoot...

Plant Species Interactions in the Rhizosphere Increase Maize N and P Acquisition and Maize Yields in Intercrop**
The aim of the study was to examine interspecific plant interactions that contribute to plant nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) acquisition and are...
-
Plasticity of wheat seedling responses to K+ deficiency highlighted by integrated phenoty** of roots and root hairs over the whole root system
The availability in the soil of potassium (K + ), a poorly mobile macronutrient required in large quantities for plant growth, is generally suboptimal...
-
Rhizosphere-induced shift in the composition of bacterial community favors mineralization of crop residue nitrogen
AimsIn agricultural systems, residue amendment is an important practice for nutrient management, but the role of microbes in mineralization of crop...

Nitrogen limitation in eucalypt roots: a cascading influence on the mobilization of soil organic matter
Emerging scientific evidence has shown that root exudates may trigger the mobilization of soil organic matter (SOM), particularly under nutrient...
-
Phosphorus management is key to effective deployment of root ideotypes in complex soil environments
PurposeWe questioned how root ideotypes selected for deep or shallow root architecture function in complex environments with heterogeneous...

Exploring root system architecture and anatomical variability in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) seedlings
BackgroundThe growth of alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) is significantly hampered by drought and nutrient deficiencies. The identification of root...
-
The effect of contrasting biosolids application strategies on soil quality
PurposeIncorporating biosolids into the soil improves plant yield compared with surface application, but it can result in the increased uptake of...

Preferences of Pinus sylvestris seedling roots for different phosphorus sources under phosphorus-deficient conditions
PurposePhosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient in many managed forests. To further understand the risks and benefits of biochars as sustainable P...

Root-derived C distribution drives N transport and transformation after 13C and 15 N labelling on paddy and upland soils
Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) coupling regulated by intensified microbial activity and turnover in the rhizosphere hotspots are essential for balancing...

Co–elevation of CO2 and temperature enhances nitrogen mineralization in the rhizosphere of rice
It is unclear how elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 ) and warming interactively influence soil N mineralization in the rhizosphere of rice ( Oryza sativa L.), given...

Applications of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi for Sustainable Agricultural Systems
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represent a critical component of terrestrial ecosystems, forming symbiotic relationships with the majority of...

Root angle, phosphorus, and water: Interactions and effects on durum wheat genotype performance in drought-prone environments
PurposeSelection for root traits has become a target in (pre-)breeding programs aiming at improving crop ability to capture soil resources. However,...

A novel method for in situ imaging of root exudates and labile elements reveals phosphorus deficiency-induced mobilization of rare earth elements in the rhizosphere of Phytolacca americana
AimsPhosphorus (P) deficiency-induced mobilization of rare earth elements (REEs) in the rhizosphere contributes to REE accumulation in the...

Novel QTL for Lateral Root Density and Length Improve Phosphorus Uptake in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
The rice root system consists of two types of lateral roots, indeterminate larger L-types capable of further branching, and determinate, short,...

Effects of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) inoculation on nodule development and rhizosphere carbon and nitrogen content under simulated drought
AimsInoculation with climate-adapted rhizobia is able to increase legume productivity in drought-prone regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. Enhanced...

Changes in soil microbiota alter root exudation and rhizosphere pH of the gypsum endemic Ononis tridentata L.
Background and aimsPlants living on gypsum are adapted to uptake nutrients in extremely poor alkaline soils. Under such extreme conditions, processes...
