Root traits contributing to plant productivity under drought (2013, background): “…soil that can be explored for water, and, also, increasing root hydraulic conductivity by decreasing the apoplastic barrier of water entering the xylem (Eissenstat and Achor, 1999; Rieger and Litvin, 1999; Huang and Eissenstat, 2000; Solari et al., 2006; Hernández et al., 2010; Comas et al., 2012).”
Functional correlations between specific leaf area and specific root length along a regional environmental gradient in Inner Mongolia grasslands (2016, background): “Furthermore, interspecific variations in SLA and SRL can be controlled by evolutionary drivers (Reich et al. 2003; Comas et al. 2012).”
Climate, soil and plant functional types as drivers of global fine‐root trait variation (2017, background): “Similarly, differences in fineroot traits among species are thought to represent their evolutionary history and adaptations to a wide range of biotic and abiotic factors (Kembel & Cahill 2011; Comas et al. 2012).”
Outstanding impact of Azospirillum brasilense strains Ab-V5 and Ab-V6 on the Brazilian agriculture: Lessons that farmers are receptive to adopt new microbial inoculants (2021, background): “With the development of the root system, the plant can absorb more water and nutrients, favoring its development and productivity (Tien et al., 1979; Akbari et al., 2007; Comas et al., 2012; Reece et al., 2015; Rondina et al., 2020).”
Root traits are related to plant water-use among rangeland Mediterranean species (2017, background): “…demonstrated that the whole root system of seed- lings with long SRL can transport more water than root systems of seedlings with shorter SRL, due to the posi- tive correlation between SRL and root length density (RLD, root length per soil volume) (Hern andez et al. 2010; Comas et al. 2012).”
Root Phenotyping for Drought Tolerance: A Review (2018, background): “Root architecture also has a significant impact on nitrogen use efficiency [52].”
Root trait responses to drought are more heterogeneous than leaf trait responses (2020, background): “Thicker roots have been associated with high nutrient and water acquisition through mycotrophy (Brundrett, 2002; Comas et al., 2012), and with osmoregulation due to the storage of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC; Chaves, 1991; Galvez, Landhäusser, & Tyree, 2011; Yang, Zhang, Li, Xu, & Wang, 2016).”
