The root is an important plant part contributing to peanut productivity underwater-limited conditions. Root volume, root surface area and root diameter may becharacters responding to pre-flowering drought (PFD) in peanut. The objectives ofthis study were to investigate the responses to PFD for root surface area, rootvolume and root diameter and to determine the inter-relationships among theresp...

Plants constantly communicate with coexisting neighbors and adjust their physiological morphological characteristics, including changes in root system architecture (RSA). Increased or decreased biomass accumulation, horizontal vertical asymmetric distribution are the main behavioral performances. Some evidence has shown that these performances associated plant plasticity such as secretion of ex...
