From lab to field: Open tools facilitating the translation of maize root traits
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Field Crops Research"
DOI: 10.1016/j.fcr.2020.107872
Abstract: Abstract Variation of root traits is associated with soil resource acquisition under abiotic stresses. However, plant breeding programs targeting beneficial root traits are hampered by lacking appropriate phenotyping tools. The availability of high-throughput root phenotyping… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcac052
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plant performance is enhanced by balancing above- and belowground resource uptake through the adjustment of leaf and root traits. It is assumed that these organ adjustments are at least partly coordinated, so… read more here.
