With increasing demand to support and accelerate progress in breeding for novel traits, the
plant research community faces the need to accurately measure increasingly large numbers …

In this review, recent developments and future prospects of obtaining a better understanding
of the regulation of nitrogen use efficiency in the main crop species cultivated in the world …

Root high plasticity is an adaptation to its changing environment. Water deficit impairs
growth, leading to sugar accumulation in leaves, part of which could be available to roots via …

Plants react to their environment and to management interventions by adjusting
physiological functions and structure. Functional–structural plant models (FSPM), combine …

Root systems play an essential role in ensuring plant productivity. Experiments conducted in
controlled environments and simulation models suggest that root geometry and responses …

Root system architecture (RSA), the distribution of roots in soil, plays a major role in plant
survival. RSA is shaped by multiple developmental processes that are largely governed by …

Root systems develop different root types that individually sense cues from their local
environment and integrate this information with systemic signals. This complex multi …

Image analysis is used in numerous studies of root system architecture (RSA). To date, fully
automatic procedures have not been good enough to completely replace alternative manual …

The spacing of lateral roots (LRs) along the main root in plants is driven by an oscillatory
signal, often referred to as the" root clock" that represents a pre-patterning mechanism that …

Post-embryonic root growth relies on the proliferative activity of the root apical meristem
(RAM), consisting, in part, of cells with juvenile characteristics (stem cells). It is generally, but …
