Theoretical evidence for the functional benefit of root cortical aerenchyma in soils with low phosphorus availability.

Annals of botany - 1 Apr 2011

Postma Johannes A, Lynch Jonathan P

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The formation of root cortical aerenchyma (RCA) reduces root respiration and nutrient content by converting living tissue to air volume. It was hypothesized that RCA increases soil resource acquisition by reducing the metabolic and phosphorus cost of soil exploration. METHODS: To test the quantitative logic of the hypothesis, SimRoot, a functional-structural plant model with emphasis on root...
