Untapping root system architecture for crop improvement
Roots are the first organ to sense water deficit, and at the same time they extract virtually all those mineral nutrients from soil that are consumed by humans. Soil resource acquisition under challenging conditions such as drought is a primary limitation on plant productivity, resulting in low yields and thus food insecurity in the poorest countries. Indeed, in overall global agriculture, drou...
متن کاملMeasuring root system architecture: Opportunities and challenges
Root architectural traits are important for the selection of crops and cultivars that are most efficient in the acquisition of nutrients and water from soil. Increasingly laboratory-based methods are being used to screen large numbers of plants and to measure selected architectural traits. Our research with temperate cereals demonstrates that while such methods may allow numbers of root axes an...
متن کاملHigh throughput phenotyping of root growth dynamics, lateral root formation, root architecture and root hair development enabled by PlaRoM
Plant organ phenotyping by non-invasive video imaging techniques provides a powerful tool to assess physiological traits and biomass production. We describe here a range of applications of a recently developed plant root monitoring platform (PlaRoM). PlaRoM consists of an imaging platform and a root extension profiling software application. This platform has been developed for multi parallel re...
متن کاملRoot development: new meanings for root canals?
During Arabidopsis root development, a radial pattern of tissues is extended by the meristem. These tissues form continuous layers and recent data suggest that tissue continuity is instrumental for constraining the direction of signaling in a process termed channeling. In the ground tissue, fate-determining signals originate from contiguous cells of the same layer, possibly due to specific symp...
