Understanding Root Systems to Improve, Seedling Quality
Root architecture can be very important in plant productivity. The importance of studies on root morphology and development is discussed to improve seedling growth. Root systems of dicotyledonous species are reviewed, with emphasis on differences between growth of basal and lateral roots. The presence of different types of roots in plant species suggests possible differences in function as well...
متن کاملUnderstanding Forest Seedling Quality: Measurements and Interpretation
The demand for bigger, better, faster-growing seedlings has been ever-growing. As a result, forest seedling production is a continually evolving technology in reforestation. Evaluating seedling quality is crucial for understanding seedling development in the nursery, as well as subsequent field growth and survival. Stock quality, however, often is assessed inconsistently and on only a limited b...
متن کاملRoot architecture simulation improves the inference from seedling root phenotyping towards mature root systems
Root phenotyping provides trait information for plant breeding. A shortcoming of high-throughput root phenotyping is the limitation to seedling plants and failure to make inferences on mature root systems. We suggest root system architecture (RSA) models to predict mature root traits and overcome the inference problem. Sixteen pea genotypes were phenotyped in (i) seedling (Petri dishes) and (ii...
متن کاملLongleaf Pine Root System Development and Seedling Quality in Response to Copper Root Pruning and Cavity Size
rootcollar diameter as the standard, nondestructive measure of seedling quality. Other nondestructive measures of seedling quality would be valuable. One option, root-bound index (RBI), reflects the ratio of rootcollar and cavity diameters (South et al. 2005, South and Mitchell 2006). This variable is an indirect, nondestructive measure of how well the cavity accommodates both the taproot and f...
متن کاملCharacterizing emergency departments to improve understanding of emergency care systems
International emergency medicine aims to understand different systems of emergency care across the globe. To date, however, international emergency medicine lacks common descriptors that can encompass the wide variety of emergency care systems in different countries. The frequent use of general, system-wide indicators (e.g. the status of emergency medicine as a medical specialty or the presence...
