Some of the biological knowledge obtained from fundamental research will be implemented
in applied plant breeding. To bridge basic research and breeding practice, machine learning …

Among all essential mineral elements, nitrogen (N) is required in the largest amounts and
thus is often a limiting factor for plant growth. N is taken up by plant roots in the form of water …

Nitrogen uptake is crucial to wheat nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The study's findings
indicate that both high-and low-NUE cultivars exhibited highest nitrogen uptake efficiency …

Variation in root system architecture (RSA) and morphology are important for improving
phosphorus use efficiency (PUE) in wheat. This work aims to analyze the root system …

Context Nitrogen (N) enrichment increases aboveground net primary productivity, but
causes a loss of plant diversity and a decline in ecosystem stability. Diverse systems that …

Background A sufficient nitrogen supply is crucial for high-quality wheat yields. However, the
use of nitrogen fertilization can also negatively influence ecosystems due to leaching or …

Background and aims We were interested to know if laboratory screens of root growth could
be used to predict root performance and grain yield of wheat when grown in the field. A …

In laboratory experiments, the nitrogen migration and transformation in the stormwater
bioretention system under different dry–wet alterations were studied. The removal efficiency …

Roots remain an underexplored frontier in plant genetics despite their well-known influence
on plant development, agricultural performance and competition in the wild. Visualizing and …

5320| Virtual Issue Editorial presence in maize of mutants lacking only adventitious and
seminal roots indicates a common regulatory origin of these two root types (Tai et al., 2017; …
