Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms (2009, background): “Interestingly, cluster roots form on plant species that are essentially nonmycorrhizal and therefore appear to provide an important alternative strategy for plant acquisition of soil P (Shane and Lambers 2005).”
Root structure and functioning for efficient acquisition of phosphorus: Matching morphological and physiological traits. (2006, methodology): “We propose that it is their ‘specialized’ morphology and anatomy (structure), which is matched by their ‘specialized’ physiology and biochemistry (functioning) (Shane and Lambers, 2005a).”
ROOT STRATEGIES FOR PHOSPHORUS ACQUISITION (2008, background): “2007), and specific adaptations to low P availability, such as cluster roots (Diem et al. 2000; Lamont 2003; Neumann and Martinoia 2002; Shane and Lambers 2005; Lambers et al. 2006), mycorrhizas (Harrison 1999; Smith et al.”
Plant-microbe-soil interactions in the rhizosphere: an evolutionary perspective (2009, background): “These carboxylates chelate Fe and other micronutrients which explains why Mn concentrations in cluster-bearing species tend to be high (Gardner and Boundy 1983; Bolland et al. 2000) and correlated with the fraction of the total root mass invested in cluster roots (Shane and Lambers 2005a).”
Plant mineral nutrition in ancient landscapes: high plant species diversity on infertile soils is linked to functional diversity for nutritional strategies (2010, background): “Whilst many species in ancient landscapes are very effective at acquiring scarcely available P using root clusters (Shane and Lambers 2005), many of them, in”
Plant root growth, architecture and function (2009, background): “There are two main types of cluster roots: ‘simple’, bottle-brush-like cluster roots and ‘compound’ cluster roots made up of a collection of many ‘simple’ cluster roots together and which can form dense mats of roots in the upper soil-organic horizons (Shane and Lambers 2005).”
Management of soil phosphorus and plant adaptation mechanisms to phosphorus stress for sustainable crop production: a review (2012, unknown): “mechanism to maximize P acquisition from unavailable P resources (Shane and Lambers, 2005; Lambers et al., 2006).”
Plant and microbial strategies to improve the phosphorus efficiency of agriculture (2011, background): “In contrast, grevillea (Grevillea crithmifolia R.Br.) and lupins (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet and L. albus) produced more cluster root mass on the high-P side (Shane and Lambers 2005).”
Phosphorus Acquisition and Utilization in Plants. (2021, background): “Phosphorus-mining strategies have been most profoundly studied in nonmycorrhizal Lupinus albus (55; 146; 196) and Proteaceae (149; 153); most of these species produce carboxylate-releasing cluster roots.”
Soil‐mediated effects of invasive ungulates on native tree seedlings (2014, background): “Cluster roots are thought to improve nutrient acquisition, notably phosphate absorption (Lambers et al. 2003; Shane & Lambers 2005).”
OCBIL theory: towards an integrated understanding of the evolution, ecology and conservation of biodiversity on old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (2009, background): “Cluster roots (Shane and Lambers 2005), dauciform roots (Shane et al. 2005), geophytism (Parsons and Hopper 2003; Proches et al. 2005a) and extensive water-foraging strategies (Poot and Lambers 2008) are evident in the Southwest Australian Floristic Region and the Greater Cape.”
