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.

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

This study links root anatomical gradients and cultivar differences to variations in hydraulic properties in winter wheat using imaging and modeling.

The paper introduces RAT, a low-cost root anatomical imaging system, and shows reduced vascular complexity in wheat crown roots from basal to distal regions.

This study analyzes the evolution of root phenotypes in maize during domestication by linking ancient DNA, paleobotany, and modeling to environmental changes in Tehuacan Valley.
