On the outside looking in: roles of endogenous and exogenous strigolactones

Bruno Aquino et al.

Summary: Strigolactones (SLs) play crucial roles in plant development, fungal growth, and parasitic plant germination, particularly in the rhizosphere ecosystem. Their interactions with phosphate utilization suggest a more holistic view is needed to fully understand their roles in plant biology.

A starting guide to root ecology: strengthening ecological concepts and standardising root classification, sampling, processing and trait measurements

Gregoire T. Freschet et al.

Summary: This handbook aims to improve the standardisation of root trait comparisons and the integration of information across studies by providing controlled vocabularies and methods. It serves as a starting point for students and scientists interested in below-ground ecosystems, and also for experts looking to broaden their understanding of root ecology. The guide also emphasizes the importance of considering ecological context when studying root traits and aims to break down barriers between different subdisciplines of root ecology.

Root economics spectrum and construction costs in Mediterranean woody plants: The role of symbiotic associations and the environment

Enrique G. de la Riva et al.

Summary: The study quantified the construction costs (CC) of fine roots in 60 Mediterranean woody species and found a positive relationship between root CC and the root economics spectrum (RES). Different symbiotic types influenced the specific CC components differently, and root CC were affected by soil resource availability. This highlights the importance of understanding root construction costs for below-ground resource-use strategies.

Responses of mycorrhizal colonization to nitrogen and phosphorus addition in fourteen woody and herbaceous species: the roles of hypodermal passage cells and penetration points

Liying Xu et al.

Summary: The rate of mycorrhizal colonization in plant roots generally decreases with increased soil nutrient availability, particularly under nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) addition. Both woody and herbaceous plants were found to have a close relationship between mycorrhizal colonization density and proportion with passage cells and penetration points, regardless of control or nutrient treatments. These results have significant implications for understanding the interaction between soil fungi and plant roots in response to changes in soil nutrient availabilities.

Functional phenomics and genetics of the root economics space in winter wheat using high-throughput phenotyping of respiration and architecture

Haichao Guo et al.

Summary: By combining functional phenomics with trait economic theory, we studied the integration of root traits in winter wheat, identifying the importance of specific root respiration and specific root length, as well as genetic regions associated with these traits. This approach improves understanding of crop ecophysiology and provides insights for breeding more efficient crops.
