Article Synopsis
- Root system architecture (RSA) significantly affects nutrient uptake and plant growth, yet its genetic factors are often only examined in young seedlings.
- A study involving 241 plant accessions discovered substantial variability in 17 RSA traits, highlighting connections between these traits and the plants' natural environments.
- Further research under drought conditions emphasized the importance of root distribution for drought tolerance and led to genome-wide association studies that identified genes related to lateral root development and adaptation to various habitats.
Root growth and development has become an important research topic for breeders and researchers based on a growing need to adapt plants to changing and more demanding environmental conditions worldwide. Over the last few years, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) became an important tool to identify the link between traits in the field and their genetic background. Here we give an overview of the current literature concerning GWASs performed on root system architecture (RSA) in plants.
