Plant Root Architecture and Nutrient Acquisition

EasyChair Preprint 14779

Abstract

Plant root architecture plays a critical role in nutrient acquisition, directly influencing plant growth and productivity. The dynamic structure of root systems adapts to varying environmental conditions, optimizing the uptake of essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Key factors, including root branching, elongation, and root hair development, contribute to the efficiency of nutrient absorption. Additionally, the interaction between roots and soil microbiota enhances nutrient availability through symbiotic relationships, such as mycorrhizal associations. Understanding these adaptive strategies and underlying genetic mechanisms offers potential for improving crop resilience and yield in nutrient-limited soils.
