Background and Aims Root architecture is a primary determinant of soil resource acquisition.
We hypothesized that root architectural phenes will display both positive and negative …

Root phenotypes are avenues to the development of crop cultivars with improved nutrient
capture, which is an important goal for global agriculture. The fitness landscape of root …

Background and Aims The utility of root hairs for nitrogen (N) acquisition is poorly
understood. Methods We explored the utility of root hairs for N acquisition in the functional–structural …

Suboptimal water and P availability are primary limitations to grain legume production. Root
architecture influences water and P acquisition, but tradeoffs need to be better understood …

High throughput phenotyping is important to bridge the gap between genotype and phenotype.
The methods used to describe the phenotype therefore should be robust to measurement …

Background and Aims Although root penetration of strong soils has been intensively studied
at the scale of individual root axes, interactions between soil physical properties and soil …

Background Suboptimal nitrogen availability is a primary constraint for crop production in
low-input agroecosystems, while nitrogen fertilization is a primary contributor to the energy, …

Fruits are colorful, flavorful, and nutritious components and play an important role for the vital
health and maintenance of our body. Experimental evidences suggested that fruits contain …

Root phenomics involves the study of root architecture which is highly complex and
multidimensional. Root architectural and anatomical phenotypes determine nutrient uptake from soil …
