Well‐adapted root systems allow plants to grow under resource‐limiting environmental
conditions and are important determinants of yield in agricultural systems. Important staple …

The shoot and root system architectures are fundamental for crop productivity. During the
history of artificial selection of domestication and post-domestication breeding, the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated continuously as a by-product of aerobic
metabolism in plants. While excessive ROS cause oxidative stresses in cells, they act as …

Optimal root system architecture is beneficial for water‐fertilizer use efficiency, stress
tolerance and yield improvement of crops. However, because of the complexity of root traits …

Improving net leaf photosynthetic rate (A n) by molecular breeding is an important research
challenge in improving rice productivity. For the effective use of a locus or gene that …

Cytochrome P450 enzymes encoded by MORE AXILLARY GROWTH1 (MAX1)-like genes
produce most of the structural diversity of strigolactones during the final steps of …

In cereals, the root system is mainly composed of post‐embryonic shoot‐borne roots, named
crown roots. The CROWN ROOTLESS1 (CRL1) transcription factor, belonging to the …

Main conclusion This study reveals that the process of crown root development and auxin-
induced de novo root organogenesis during in vitro plantlet regeneration share a common …

Roots play an important role during plant growth and development, ensuring water and
nutrient uptake. Understanding the mechanisms regulating their initiation and development …

Crown roots constitute the main part of the rice root system. Several key genes involved in
crown root initiation and development have been identified by functional genomics …
