Root system architecture depends on nutrient availability. A symptom of iron (Fe) toxicity in plants is stunted root growth, yet little is known about the effects of excess Fe on lateral root (LR) development. To better understand how nutrient signals are integrated into root developmental programs, we investigated the morphological response of root systems to Fe by testing homogeneous supply and localized Fe supply treatment.
根系结构取决于养分的可利用性。植物中铁(Fe)毒性的一个症状是根系生长受抑制,但关于过量铁对侧根(LR)发育的影响却知之甚少。为了更好地理解养分信号是如何整合到根系发育程序中的,我们通过测试均匀供应和局部铁供应处理,研究了根系对铁的形态学响应。
