New roots for agriculture: exploiting the root phenome.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 5 Jun 2012

Lynch Jonathan P, Brown Kathleen M

Abstract excerpt

Recent advances in root biology are making it possible to genetically design root systems with enhanced soil exploration and resource capture. These cultivars would have substantial value for improving food security in developing nations, where yields are limited by drought and low soil fertility, and would enhance the sustainability of intensive agriculture. Many of the phenes controlling soil resource capture...
