Purpose : Plant nitrogen use efficiency can be increased by improving N uptake (NUpE). Root system architecture of the plant plays a vital role in uptaking water and nutrients including N. The present study was conducted to compare root architectural traits different wheat species at early seedling development vegetative growth stage while mature stages under controlled environment.Research Met...

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...

Root system development is an important agronomic trait. The right architecture in a given environment allows plants to survive periods of water of nutrient deficit, and compete effectively for resources. Root systems also provide an optimal system for studying developmental plasticity, a characteristic feature of plant growth. This review proposes a framework for describing the pathways regula...

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...
