Branching patterns of monocots and dicots
Branching patterns of root systems are characterized and compared by Pagès with a set of six quantitative traits revealing interspecific variations and correlations, suggesting trade-offs. The ‘fineness-density’ and ‘dominance-heterorhizy’ axes separated the species, according to roots’ minimal diameter and branching density, and according to apical diameter and level of dominance of mother roots over their […] More

Breeding strategies for forage and grass improvement
The November issue of Annals of Botany features a Highlight section focussing on the often neglected area of forage, turf and bioenergy crops. The eight papers cover a wide range of subjects, from a general overview of the role of grasslands in food security and climate change through to advanced phenotyping and metabolomics. For full […] More
