A Review on Plant Root Architecture and Methods for Measuring Root Growth Parameters

The longitudinal arrangement of root systems, as well length, diameter, and hairs are referred to architecture. Plant system plays key role in regulating plant growth development. Root tuber crops (RTCs) that vegetatively propagated offer food security for enormous populations. morphology is affected by soil, climatic, factors. Parameters normally used express distributions number, weight, surface area, volume, the number tips. A factors have been examined influence root- shoot ratio; examples deprivation Nitrogen, low supplies Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium. Most methods measuring parameter labour intensive. Hence, new improved in-situ now developed. Researches crop physiology always progress. physiologists should keep themselves abreast most recent findings their field specialization.
