Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal colonisation on shoot and root decomposition of different plant species and species mixtures
(Elsevier, 2010-11)
We studied the decomposition of shoot and root tissues of four plant species from central Argentina belonging to contrasting functional types: a deciduous shrub (Acacia caven), a perennial forb (Hyptis mutabilis), an annual ...
Determinate primary root growth as an adaptation to aridity in Cactaceae: towards evolution and genetic control of the trait
(Oxford University Press, 2013-04)
Background and Aims Species of Cactaceae are well adapted to arid habitats. Determinate growth of the primary root, which involves early and complete root apical meristem (RAM) exhaustion and differentiation of cells at ...
Salt effects on functional traits in model and in economically important Lotus species
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-07)
A common stress on plants is NaCl-derived soil salinity. Genus Lotus comprises model and economically important species, which have been studied regarding physiological responses to salinity. Leaf area ratio (LAR), root ...
Root traits and arbuscular mycorrhiza on perennial grasses exposed to defoliation after a controlled burningAtributos radicales y micorrizas arbusculares en gramíneas perennes expuestas a defoliación luego de una quema controlada
(Fundación Rómulo Raggio, 2018-12)
Plant competition for soil resources is common in semiarid rangelands. Plants have various, alternative mechanisms to deal with soil resource acquisition. They include (1) length, weight and proliferation of roots, (2) ...
Is the zone of influence colonized by roots of neighboring species? Field tests in a Patagonian steppe
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-02)
In general, there is more knowledge about aboveground structure and processes than about those belowground. It has been proposed that plants are belowground territorial and root segregation explains species coexistence. ...
Divergence in plant traits and increased modularity underlie repeated transitions between low and high elevations in the Andean Genus Leucheria
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Understanding why some plant lineages move from one climatic region to another is a mayor goal of evolutionary biology. In the southern Andes plant lineages that have migrated along mountain ranges tracking cold-humid ...
Comparative study of shoot and root development in micropropagated and sucker-derived banana and plantain (Musa spp.) plants
(FACT Limitedhttp://www.m.elewa.org/JABS/2008/8%282%29/Abstract5-Blomme.html, 2013)
Trade-off between root porosity and mechanical strength in species with different types of aerenchyma
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2007-05)
The objective of this work was to study the existence of a trade-off between aerenchyma formation and root mechanical strength. To this end, relationships among root anatomical traits and mechanical properties were analysed ...
