Root system architecture: insights from Arabidopsis and cereal crops.
Roots are important to plants for a wide variety of processes, including nutrient and water uptake, anchoring and mechanical support, storage functions, and as the major interface between the plant and various biotic and abiotic factors in the soil environment. Understanding the development and architecture of roots holds potential for the exploitation and manipulation of root characteristics t...
متن کاملinsights into root deveiopment from Arabidopsis root mutants
The root provides a useful system for the analysis of plant organ formation. Mutations that affect root development and physiology have heen identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. Affected processes include emhryonic root formation, cell expansion, cell differentiation and response to environmental stimuli. Analysis of these mutations is providing insight into fundamental questions of plant devel-
متن کاملRoot System Architecture and Abiotic Stress Tolerance: Current Knowledge in Root and Tuber Crops
The challenge to produce more food for a rising global population on diminishing agricultural land is complicated by the effects of climate change on agricultural productivity. Although great progress has been made in crop improvement, so far most efforts have targeted above-ground traits. Roots are essential for plant adaptation and productivity, but are less studied due to the difficulty of o...
متن کاملPhosphate availability regulates root system architecture in Arabidopsis.
Plant root systems are highly plastic in their development and can adapt their architecture in response to the prevailing environmental conditions. One important parameter is the availability of phosphate, which is highly immobile in soil such that the arrangement of roots within the soil will profoundly affect the ability of the plant to acquire this essential nutrient. Consistent with this, t...
متن کاملAn Ultrasonic System for Weed Detection in Cereal Crops
Site-specific weed management requires sensing of the actual weed infestation levels in agricultural fields to adapt the management accordingly. However, sophisticated sensor systems are not yet in wider practical use, since they are not easily available for the farmers and their handling as well as the management practice requires additional efforts. A new sensor-based weed detection method is...
