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 کاملAir Lateral Root Pruning Affects Longleaf Pine Seedling Root System Morphology
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) seedlings were cultured with air lateral root pruning (side-vented containers, VT) or without (solid-walled containers, SW). Seedling root system morphology and growth were assessed before planting and 8 and 14 months after planting. Although VT seedlings had greater root collar diameter than the SW before planting, seedling height and ground line diameter were n...
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 کاملArborescent palm seed morphology and seedling distribution.
This study examines how the seed morphology of two large arborescent palms, Attalea maripa (Aubl.) Mart. and Astrocaryum aculeatum G. Mey, may affect their seed shadow in a seasonally dry Amazonian forest. In addition to being smaller and produced in larger numbers than those of A. aculeatum, A. maripa seeds also presented a substantially lower amount of nutritional reserves available for the e...
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...
