Experimental platforms for the investigation of spatiotemporal patterns in the rhizosphere-laboratory and field scale

Doris Vetterlein et al.

Summary: The complex interactions between roots, microorganisms, soil properties, and environmental factors result in spatial parameter patterns that are highly dynamic over time. Experimental platforms are necessary to fully understand the rhizosphere processes and their significance in soil-plant systems.

Root hairs are the most important root trait for rhizosheath formation of barley (Hordeum vulgare), maize (Zea mays) and Lotus japonicus (Gifu)

Emma Burak et al.

Summary: Root hairs play a crucial role in rhizosheath formation, being more effective than exudate adhesiveness. The length and density of root hairs can influence the size of rhizosheaths in different plant species.

Soil textures rather than root hairs dominate water uptake and soil-plant hydraulics under drought

Gaochao Cai et al.

Summary: The study revealed that although root hairs play a minor role in maize compared to barley in water uptake, they still have some impact on root hydraulics under soil drying conditions. Additionally, the response of root hydraulics to drought varies depending on soil textures, indicating that the role of root hairs cannot be generalized across different species.
