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 stand condition and root density on fine-root dynamics across root functional groups in a subtropical montane forest
Fine roots play key roles in belowground C cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Based on their distinct functions, fine roots are either absorptive...

Ant invasion is associated with lower root density and different root distribution of a foundational savanna tree species
Some invasive ants have worldwide distributions and impose substantial impacts on human society and native biodiversity. Yet we know little about how...

Root growth, root senescence and root system architecture in maize under conservative strip tillage system
AimsRoot system architecture (RSA) is important for nutrient and water acquisition efficiency. The adaptation of root growth and RSA to soil...

Intraspecific variation in fine root morphology of European beech: a root order-based analysis of phenotypic root morphospace
Fine roots are multifunctional organs that may change function with ageing or root branching events from primarily absorptive to resource transport...

Roots with larger specific root length and C: N ratio sustain more complex rhizosphere nematode community
PurposeRoots bridge aboveground and belowground systems, and play a pivotal role in structuring root-associated organisms via influencing food...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spore density and root colonization in cochineal-infested Opuntia ficus-indica plants in northern Ethiopia
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and herbivore insects are essential elements of ecosystems. They can influence each other on their common host...
-
Divergent intra- and interspecific root order variability identifies a two-dimensional root economics spectrum
Background and AimsThe form-function linkages and variation of fine root traits reflect adaptive strategies to cope with complex soil environments....
