Complementation of an AtCAM3 knockout line restores wild type root growth and provides localization data through expression of a chimeric GFP:AtCAM3 fusion protein in Arabidopsis thaliana
… to heat stress as well as reduction in root growth. This root growth phenotype was not impacted by varying osmotic stress of growth media relative to Columbia wild type plants. Transgenic lines created from AtCAM3 knockout plants expressing chimeric GFP:AtCaM3 exhibited restored root …

Plant Species and Soil Type Effects on Root Characteristics, Microbiota and Plant-soil Feedback Responses in Four Prairie Species
… The effects of plant species and soil type on root characteristics, plant-soil feedback and influence on microbiota and arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization were assessed through a manipulative laboratory study. Aster laevis, Parthenium integrifolium, Aster novae-angliae and Andropogon gerardii …

Exploring the role of auxin in phenotypic plasticity in Arabidopsis thaliana root development
… the initiation and emergence of lateral roots. In this study we used several approaches to reduce auxin transport moving either from the shoot toward the root apex or from the root tip toward the base and examined the effect of these treatments on lateral root initiation and emergence. …

Symbiotic relationships of <i>alnus glutinosa</i> with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and with <i>frankia</i>
… detected microscopically in <i>A. glutinosa</i> roots from mineral and loam but not from highly organic soils. Both <i>Glomus</i>- and <i>Gigaspora</i>-like fungi were detected only in roots from sandy soils. Glasshouse experiments showed that <i>Glomus</i> and <i>Gigaspora</i> species gave …

Rooting for the Home Team: Arbuscular Mycorrhizas and Root Traits in Native and Invasive Woody Shrubs
… hosts, and understanding the syndromes of fine root functional traits that form based on plant invasive status and AMF colonization. Using softwood cuttings of phylogenetically paired native and invasive shrubs from a common garden, plants were grown under high and low nutrient conditions, as …

High-throughput maize root phenotyping
The root system is important for plant adaptability to changing environments. Although the importance of the root system is well reported in the research literature there is still a considerable lack of knowledge with regard to the development of root systems per se, and how root system complexity …

Evaluation of additive and nonadditive genetic variation in elite maize germplasm for root, shoot, and ear characteristics
… use efficiency, disease resistance, stalk and root strength, as well as generally improved performance under a range of biotic and abiotic stresses. Ten proprietary and two public inbreds were evaluated with a generation means design emanating from the diallel cross of the 12 parents. Parental …
