Evolution of root plasticity responses to variation in soil nutrient distribution and concentration
Abstract Root plasticity, a trait that can respond to selective pressure, may help plants forage for nutrients in heterogeneous soils. Agricultural breeding programs have artificially selected for increased yield under comparatively homogeneous soil conditions, potentially decreasing the capacity fo...
