Root phenotypic plasticity improves yield stability when directed toward an adaptive integrated phenotype

This study shows that root phenotypic plasticity improves yield stability when it shifts root phenotypes toward species-specific optimal integrated phenotypes, rather than increasing the number or magnitude of plastic traits.

A thermal time framework drives coordinated below- and above-ground development in temperate cereal crops

The paper introduces a thermal time framework to quantify coordinated root and shoot development in temperate cereal crops across species and environments.
