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...

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...

A genome-wide association study of lateral root number for Asian cotton (Gossypium arboreum L.)
BackgroundThe lateral root is one of the most important organs that constitute the root architecture system in plants. It can directly affect the...

Root exudation links root traits to soil functioning in agroecosystems
Background and aimsRoot exudation is a key process for plant nutrient acquisition, but the controls on root exudation and its relationship to soil C...
-
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....

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...

Sugar delivery at the tomato root and root galls after Meloidogyne incognita infestation
Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) infect host plants and obtain nutrients such as sugars for their own development. Therefore, inhibiting the nutrient...

Root 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) and rhizosphere ACC deaminase-producing bacteria affect apple root architecture under soil compaction stress
PurposeSoil compaction inhibits root growth by limiting ethylene diffusion and often occurs in apple orchards. This study explored the mechanism of...

Extracellular nitric oxide sustains root surface redox activity and growth under sudden flooding-induced hypoxic conditions in barley root tips
Main conclusionNitric oxide sustains root tip surface redox activity and restricts lipid peroxidation-triggered cell death in the root tips.

Promotion of biomass, photosynthesis, and root growth of seedling biomass, photosynthesis, and root growth of Populus davidiana × P. bolleana by two species of ectomycorrhizal fungi
The addition of ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF), beneficial rhizosphere microorganisms, to the soil can promote plant growth and resistance. Here, Populus...
