Review: the interaction between rootstocks and cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.) to enhance drought tolerance in grapevine (2014, background): “…of cane prunings from the previous winter, and minimally pruned ones, i.e. only cutting the hanging stems to 1 m above the ground where canopy pruning decreased root life span, suggest that it might be due to differences in root composition related to carbon concentration (Comas et al. 2000).”
Decomposition of the finest root branching orders: linking belowground dynamics to fine-root function and structure (2011, background): “Some studies have examined decomposition (disappearance) using minirhizotrons, but the effect of different root types (white vs. pigmented, roots of different order) were not addressed (Comas et al. 2000, Ruess et al. 2003).”
Variability of water use efficiency in grapevines (2014, unknown): “, 2000) or root respiration (Comas et al., 2000; Escalona et al., 2012; Franck et al., 2011; Huang et al., 2005).”
Phenolic allelochemicals released by Chenopodium murale affect the growth, nodulation and macromolecule content in chickpea and pea (2007, background): “Viable (i.e. respiring) tissue reduces TTC to red coloured triphenyl formazan by accepting electrons from mitochondrial electron transport chain ( Comas et al. 2000 ).”
Estimating age‐dependent costs and benefits of roots with contrasting life span: comparing apples and oranges (2001, background): “The decrease in root respiration with increasing age in apple was very similar to that observed in grape (Comas et al., 2000).”
Depth-related fine root dynamics of Fagus sylvatica during exceptional drought (2006, background): “Assessing the time of root death by means of minirhizotrons indeed is problematic (Comas et al., 2000).”
Effects of soil freezing on fine roots in a northern hardwood forest (2008, methodology): “Triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride (TTC) assays were used to compare fine root vitality between treated and reference plots (Comas et al. 2000).”
COMPARISONS OF STRUCTURE AND LIFE SPAN IN ROOTS AND LEAVES AMONG TEMPERATE TREES (2006, methodology): “Although the vital staining correlated well with root function in grape roots for Comas et al. (2000), for our species, external appearance alone was not enough to evaluate root vitality.”
Improving water use efficiency in grapevines: potential physiological targets for biotechnological improvement. (2010, background): “Such estimates have not been properly done in grapevines, because very few studies have addressed respiration rates in this species, especially in roots (Comas et al. 2000; Huang et al. 2005).”
Fine root turnover in a northern hardwood forest: a direct comparison of the radiocarbon and minirhizotron methods (2002, background): “It is very difficult to identify dead fine roots in MR images or from cores (Comas et al. 2000), and it is likely that some roots classified as live were in the early stages of decomposition.”
Biological and environmental factors controlling root dynamics and function: effects of root ageing and soil moisture (2010, unknown): “In grape, declines in root respiration also parallel increases in root pigmentation or root browning (Figure 2) (Comas et al. 2000).”
Comparative effects of salt-stress and alkali-stress on the growth, photosynthesis, solute accumulation, and ion balance of barley plants (2009, methodology): “The activity of the root system was determined as described by Comas et al. (2000).”
