QTL Analysis of Adventitious Root Formation in Common Bean under Contrasting Phosphorus Availability (2006, background): “Combining QTL for multiple root traits is desirable considering substantial synergism among root traits for phosphorus acquisition (Ma et al., 2001b), as well as root tradeoffs between water and phosphorus acquisition (Ho et al., 2005).”
Breeding for increased nitrogen‐use efficiency: a review for wheat (T. aestivum L.) (2016, background): “For example, the expression of length and density of root hairs may be synergistic (Ma et al. 2001), and there may be antagonistic interactions between biomass allocation to different root classes due to competition for assimilates (Walk et al. 2006).”
Rhizoeconomics: Carbon costs of phosphorus acquisition (2005, background): “Low phosphorus availability increases the length (Bates and Lynch, 1996) and density (Ma et al., 2001a) of root hairs in a coordinated manner that is synergistic for phosphorus uptake (Ma et al., 2001b).”
Plant mechanisms to optimise access to soil phosphorus (2009, background): “The benefit of increased root hair density reaches a plateau when the P-depletion zones around each root hair begin to overlap, with the optimal relationship between root hair density and length dependent on the P-diffusion coefficient of the soil (Ma et al. 2001).”
Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms (2009, background): “Variation in length and density of root hairs is important particularly under conditions of low P and their contribution to P uptake has been verified through modelling studies and the use of root-hairless mutants (Gahoonia and Nielsen 2003; Ma et al. 2001).”
Quantitative Trait Loci for Root Architecture Traits Correlated with Phosphorus Acquisition in Common Bean (2006, unknown): “These changes appear to act synergistically to enhance P acquisition, by enhancing the quality and quantity of soil foraging, and by reducing the metabolic costs of soil exploration (Lynch and Ho, 2004; Lynch and Brown, 2001; Ma et al., 2001b).”
QTL mapping of root hair and acid exudation traits and their relationship to phosphorus uptake in common bean (2004, background): “Using a geometric modeling approach, Ma et al. (2001a) demonstrated the significant effects of varying roothair length, density, and other root-hair parameters on P-acquisition efficiency in Arabidopsis.”
Phosphate Acquisition (2004, background): “Root-system modeling studies have shown that the combined, synergistic effects of coordinated root-hair response on Pi acquisition were 371% greater than their additive effects (Ma et al., 2001).”
Plant and microbial strategies to improve the phosphorus efficiency of agriculture (2011, background): “An example of trait synergy in P acquisition is the interaction of four distinct root hair traits, whose combined effect on P acquisition was predicted by modelling to be 371% greater than their additive effects (Ma et al. 2001b).”
Roots of the Second Green Revolution (2007, background): “Geometric modelling indicated that these distinct traits interact synergistically to improve phosphorus acquisition; the combined effect of all four root-hair traits on phosphorus acquisition was 371% greater than their additive effects (Ma et al. 2001b).”
Rhizosphere: biophysics, biogeochemistry and ecological relevance (2009, background): “For phosphate, the least mobile of major nutrients, the radial gradient which normally does not extend more than about 1 mm can be increased up to about 2 mm by root hairs (Gahoonia et al. 2001; Ma et al. 2001).”
