Mineral acquisition from a different angle – how the root angle in cereals determines nutrient uptake Open
Summary Plant roots are vital for absorbing soil resources and directly impact crop productivity. Because nutrients are unevenly distributed through soil layers, root system architecture (RSA) is a key trait influencing nutrient uptake. Sh…

Belowground Interactions in a Barley Cultivar Mixture: Root Distribution and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Contributions to Uptake of Heterogeneous Phosphorus Open
Cultivar mixtures have the potential to mitigate abiotic stress and stabilize crop yields, but their belowground dynamics remain poorly understood. We evaluated phosphorus (P) uptake by two contrasting spring barley ( Hordeum vulgare L .) …

Phosphorus dynamics in P-depleted sub-surface of cropping soils in northeast Australia: Evaluating the potential of APSIM for simulation and the influence of soil properties Open
Sub-surface (10–30 cm depths) phosphorus (P) depletion in Vertisols of northern Australia necessitates deeper placement of phosphate fertilisers to sustain rain-fed crop productivity. However, predicting crop P availability in these layers…

The spatial distribution of soil nitrogen determines responses of Sorghum bicolor to banded phosphorus fertiliser Open
Context The grain-growing areas of north-eastern Australia are a major producer of grain for human and livestock consumption, but declining soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertility is increasing fertiliser requirements to sustain pro…

Back to the roots: standardizing root length density terminology Open
The number of studies investigating root length has increased, particularly in the context of root length measurements observed through windows such as minirhizotrons and rhizoboxes. However, there are currently two obstacles constraining …

Impact of Contrasting Rates of Phosphate Fertiliser Addition in Two Vertisols: Effects of Fresh Application and Residual Fertiliser on Sorption and Plant Uptake Open
Cropping systems in many sub-tropical and tropical regions rely on phosphorus (P) fertilisers to maintain crop yields. However, crop responses are often spatially and temporally inconsistent. This study evaluated P availability from disper…

Short‐term phosphorus sorption and desorption in contrasting cropped Vertisols Open
Vertisols are important cropping soils in tropical and subtropical areas, but in many regions, decades of cropping has substantially reduced concentrations of plant‐available phosphorus (P), especially in the subsoil layers. Phosphorus beh…

Spatio-temporal distribution of water and phosphorus determine growth of sorghum genotypes with contrasting nodal root angle Open
Aims Increased subsoil water extraction through breeding of ‘designer’ root system architecture (RSA) may improve crop performance and resilience in the face of climate change (i.e. changing seasonal rainfall patterns). However, in many dr…

Phosphorus management is key to effective deployment of root ideotypes in complex soil environments Open
Purpose We questioned how root ideotypes selected for deep or shallow root architecture function in complex environments with heterogeneous distributions of phosphorus (P), such as in many cropping systems in north-eastern Australia. Metho…

Root angle, phosphorus, and water: Interactions and effects on durum wheat genotype performance in drought-prone environments Open
Purpose Selection for root traits has become a target in (pre-)breeding programs aiming at improving crop ability to capture soil resources. However, the benefit of selected traits in heterogeneous target environments will depend on spatia…

Tandem Probe Analysis Mode for Synchrotron XFM: Doubling Throughput Capacity Open
Synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) analysis is a powerful technique that can be used to visualize elemental distributions across a broad range of sample types. Compared to conventional mapping techniques such as laser ab…

Phosphate‐solubilising microorganisms for improved crop productivity: a critical assessment Open
Summary Phosphate‐solubilising microorganisms (PSM) are often reported to have positive effects on crop productivity through enhanced phosphorus (P) nutrition. Our aim was to evaluate the validity of this concept. Most studies that report …

Root architecture for improved resource capture: trade-offs in complex environments Open
Root architecture is a promising breeding target for developing resource-efficient crops. Breeders and plant physiologists have called for root ideotypes that have narrow, deep root systems for improved water and nitrate capture, or wide, …
