Recent advances in allometric theory have proposed a novel quantitative framework by which to view the evolution of plant form and function. This general theory has placed strong emphasis on the importance of long-distance transport in shaping the evolution of many attributes of plant form and function. Specifically, it is hypothesized that with the evolutionary increase in plant size natural s...

Abstract Background Suboptimal water and nutrient availability are primary constraints in global agriculture. Root anatomy plays key roles soil resource acquisition. In this article we summarize evidence that root anatomical phenotypes present opportunities for crop breeding. Scope influence acquisition by regulating the metabolic cost of exploration, exploitation rhizosphere, penetration hard ...
