Large-Scale Phenotyping of Root Traits in the Model Legume Lotus japonicus.

Abstract excerpt

Plants are sessile organisms that can tune their body architecture to the environment. This is very pronounced in their root system. In particular, nutrient availability strongly influences the architecture of the root system; depending on the abundance of specific nutrients, root growth rates and lateral root number are modulated. The extent of these effects is important for plant adaptation and has a major...
