Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In perennial crops, efficient resource acquisition critically depends on whole-plant architecture, encompassing both canopy and root systems. In grafted grapevine, research has largely focused on scion canopy structure, whereas root system architecture - despite its key role in water and nutrient uptake - remains underexplored. This study comprehensively analysed whole-plant 3-D architecture...
