Genotypes with an exploratory root system at both high and limited P availability, which may be advantageous if N or water is the limiting factor, showed the highest P uptake levels.

Root system architecture of oilseed rape under two phosphate availabilities
One important adaptation of plants to Phosphorus (P) deficiency is to alter root system architecture (RSA) to increase P acquisition from the soil, but soil-based observations of RSA are technically challenging...
Relationships between root diameter, length and branching of maize
The effect of diameter variation on root elongation, branching and topological connections has not been examined systematically in a population of high-order roots, nor along the roots. Wu et al. used very detailed...
Tree root density model for heterogeneous forest ecosystems
This study reveals a new model for predicting root density which focuses on the spatial distribution of root density at the tree cluster scale.
