Wheat production and productivity are challenged by recurrent droughts associated with
climate change globally. Drought and heat stress resilient cultivars can alleviate yield loss in …

Plants are exposed to increasingly severe drought events and roots play vital roles in
maintaining plant survival, growth, and reproduction. A large body of literature has …

Abiotic stresses such as drought, heat, cold, nutrient deficiency, excess salt and hazardous
metals can hamper plantgrowth and development. Intensive agriculture of only a few major …

The C4 grass pearl millet is one of the most drought tolerant cereals and is primarily grown
in marginal areas where annual rainfall is low and intermittent. It was domesticated in sub …

Sorghum is the fifth most important cereal crop world-wide and feeds millions of people in
the Sahel. However, it often faces early-stage water deficit due to false onsets of rainy …

In the semi-arid Texas High Plains, declining irrigation water supply hinders the profitable
corn (Zea mays L.) silage production, the principle feed ingredient of the beef and dairy …

Root distribution in the soil determines plants' nutrient and water uptake capacity. Therefore,
root distribution is one of the most important factors in crop production. The trench profile …

Lateral roots are a major component of root system architecture, and lateral root count (LRC)
positively contributes to yield under drought in chickpea. To understand the genetic …

Background and aims Monitoring root water uptake dynamics under water deficit (WD)
conditions in fields are crucial to assess plant drought tolerance. In this study, we investigate …

Root phenotypic parameters are the important basis for studying the growth state of plants,
and root researchers obtain root phenotypic parameters mainly by analyzing root images …
