Root exudate components change litter decomposition in a simulated rhizosphere depending on temperature (2006, background): “At 15–25 C, root growth can be expected to be rapid, at least in crop plants (1– 2 cm d–1; Kim and Silk 1999; Lecompte et al. 2001).”
Heterogeneity of individual roots within the fine root architecture: causal links between physiological and ecosystem functions (2007, background): “New roots produced from roots with a larger initial diameter potentially have higher growth rates (Lecompte et al. 2001; Wilcox 1962), suggesting that large roots should be mother roots for fi brous root clusters.”
Plant root growth, architecture and function (2009, background): “Morphologically, large differences among roots occur due to root diameter: for example in the monocotyledon, Musa acuminate (Banana tree) variations in root diameter can reach 2 orders of magnitude (i.e. from 0.06 to 6 mm; Lecompte et al. 2001).”
Architectural Tradeoffs between Adventitious and Basal Roots for Phosphorus Acquisition (2005, methodology): “with growth rate of roots in greenhouse and field settings (Cahn et al., 1989; Lecompte et al., 2001; Thaler and Pages, 1996), and has been used as a component of simulated sink strength (Thaler and Pages, 1998).”
Environmental physiology of the bananas (Musa spp.) (2007, methodology): “Each class of root is thinner than the root that supports it, grows more slowly (Lecompte et al., 2001) and is much shorter in length.”
