Root system architecture (RSA) describes the dynamic spatial configuration of different types and ages of roots in a plant, which allows adaptation to different environments. Modifications in RSA enhance agronomic traits in crops and have been implicated in soil organic carbon content. Together, these fundamental properties of RSA contribute to the net carbon balance and overall sustainability of biofuels. In this article, we will review recent data supporting carbon sequestration by biofuel crops, highlight current progress in studying RSA, and discuss future opportunities for optimizing RSA for biofuel production and soil carbon sequestration.
根系结构（RSA）描述了植物中不同类型和年龄的根的动态空间配置，这使得植物能够适应不同的环境。根系结构的改变可增强作物的农艺性状，并与土壤有机碳含量有关。总之，根系结构的这些基本特性有助于生物燃料的净碳平衡和整体可持续性。在本文中，我们将回顾支持生物燃料作物碳固存的最新数据，突出根系结构研究的当前进展，并讨论优化根系结构以用于生物燃料生产和土壤碳固存的未来机会。
