Abstract excerpt
Phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the most widespread constraints on global crop productivity. Root hairs are widely regarded as a pivotal tissue for P acquisition, yet their quantitative contribution to P uptake and subsequent plant performance remains unclear. We examined 12 cultivated and 12 wild barley genotypes, classified as tolerant or sensitive to low P based on relative total biomass, and quantified...
