Plant growth-promoting bacteria in the rhizo- and endosphere of plants: Their role, colonization, mechanisms involved and prospects for utilization (2010, background): “only few bacteria are able to pass through the endodermis (Gregory, 2006).”
Impact of subsoil water use on wheat yield (2007, background): “As wheat roots reach their maximum depth at or around anthesis (Gregory 2006; Kirkegaard and Lilley 2007), subsoil water will inevitably be used later in the season, most probably after anthesis, potentially increasing the expected efficiency of conversion to grain compared with that for total…”
Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms (2009, background): “Nitrate is typically present in soil solution at mM concentrations and, relative to orthophosphate, is more mobile (Tinker and Nye 2000) and thus, is potentially able to move in soil by up to several mm per day (Gregory 2006).”
Root traits are multidimensional: specific root length is independent from root tissue density and the plant economic spectrum (2016, background): “Roots perform multiple pivotal roles in plant and ecosystem function, including absorption of both water and nutrients from the soil, physical anchoring, resource storage, vegetative reproduction, and are the main point of interface with soil symbiotic fungi and bacteria (Gregory 2006; Bardgett, Mom”
Strategies for improving phosphorus acquisition efficiency of crop plants. (2010, background): “by Gregory (2006). Although the root architecture in monocots and dicots differs 77 significantly, the main adaptive root traits correlated with enhanced P acquisition are 78”
The role of fine and coarse roots in shallow slope stability and soil erosion control with a focus on root system architecture: a review (2007, background): “They classified rooting patterns into five types, thereby extending in some way the traditional classification of plate/sinker, heart and tap root systems (Gregory 2006).”
Impact of root architecture on the erosion‐reducing potential of roots during concentrated flow (2007, background): “Root architecture is used to describe distinct aspects of the shape of root systems (Gregory, 2006).”
Inorganic Nitrogen Uptake and Transport in Beneficial Plant Root-Microbe Interactions (2015, background): “Nitrate is present at mM concentrations in soil solution (Tinker and Nye, 2000) and is more mobile (several mm per day; Gregory, 2006) compared to NH4+ (adsorbed onto the soil cation exchange sites).”
A plant root system architectural taxonomy: A framework for root nomenclature (2010, methodology): “, see Hochholdinger et al. 2004) and Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana L. Heynh.). The first genetic description of basal roots was by Zobel (1975), in which a lateral rootless tomato root mutant ( dgt ) was hybridized with a shoot-borne rootless mutant ( ro ).”
Measuring root traits in barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare and ssp. spontaneum) seedlings using gel chambers, soil sacs and X-ray microtomography (2009, background): “However, there have been few published comparisons of the stability of traits at different stages of growth or in different growing media (Gregory 2006).”
