AbstractRoot systems take up water and nutrients from the soil and thereby underpin all essential plant functions. The size of the root system affects the ability of roots to capture these resources and determine the amount of carbon that roots transfer into the soil. Understanding the genetic basis of root biomass is therefore very important for enhancing crop resilience and productivity, especially in the face of climate change, as for soil carbon sequestration efforts.
