In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

This paper provides an overview of the existing literature on the subject of the assessment
and monitoring of tree roots and their interactions with the soil. An overview of tree root …

This study reports the application of a novel bioprospecting procedure designed to screen
plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) capable of rapidly colonizing the rhizosphere …

Although fine roots are important components of the global carbon cycle, there is limited
understanding of root structure–function relationships among species. We determined …

Water deficit is one of the most problematic stressors worldwide. In this context, the use of
biostimulants represents an increasingly ecological practice aimed to improve crop …

Climate warming is predicted to affect temperate forests severely, but the response of fine
roots, key to plant nutrition, water uptake, soil carbon, and nutrient cycling is unclear …

Fine roots, and their functional traits, influence associated rhizosphere microorganisms via
root exudation and root litter quality. However, little information is known about their …

Carbon influences the evolution and functioning of plants and their roots. Previous work
examining a small number of commonly measured root traits has revealed a global …

Background: Inoculation with Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus has shown to influence root
development in red rice plants, and more recently, the induced systemic tolerance (IST) …

Understanding the assembly rules of mycorrhizal fungi is crucial, given their tremendous
importance in plant nutrition and health. Differentiation in plant‐associated arbuscular …
