Abstract excerpt
Plant root systems serve essential roles in soil anchorage, water uptake, and nutrient acquisition. Root system architecture (RSA) refers to the spatial arrangement of the root system in the soil, reflecting the geometric arrangement of root axes and the structure, morphology, and anatomy of root branches. Rice (Oryza sativa) is a key cereal crop with a hierarchically organized root system that consists of...
