🌱💧 SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW 🍇🔬

Current knowledge of root trait syndromes contributing to drought tolerance provides essential information to conceive grapevine rootstock ideotypes for breeding programs.

Fig. 1.Root structural and functional traits that interact to bring about root system behavior under drought. One reason root system behavior is so challenging to study and predict is that it results from a complex interaction of structural (red) and functional (cyan) traits that interact across different scales of time (x-axis) and space (y-axis). Even single traits can manifest across different scales of time (whiskers). For example, a complex functional trait like radial hydraulic conductance can change over very short time frames (i.e. minutes to hours) via changes in aquaporin regulation and cell hydraulic conductivity, and over very long time frames (i.e. days to years) via changes in suberization, cell number, and the extent of secondary growth.

REVIEW: "Root system ideotypes: what is the potential for breeding drought-tolerant grapevine rootstocks?" 🍇

They summarized nicely the #FSPM challenges of mixing different scales of time and space.

The team has been busy analysing data and preparing samples for analysis to help interpret Root2Res findings and help develop our root phenotyping toolbox and identifying ideotypes to test in the field.

There’s lots of activity in Root2Res in planning the experiments in all crop species to validate the ideotypes described the project and screen large populations for root traits. Watch this space for findings of these experiments.

Millan et al. identify grapevine architectural morphotypes that simultaneously optimize carbon assimilation and water use efficiency and reduce leaf temperature under conditions of water deficit and heat stress 🍇

#PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 10.3D mock-ups of the identified ideotypes. 3D front (A, B) and top (C, D) views of the best performing morphotypes for a hot day in mild water deficit (A, C) and a hot day in strong water deficit or the extremely hot day in either condition of water deficit (B, D). The surface of one square on the grid corresponds to 100 cm2.

🌱 Taylor S. Nelsen, Joshua Hegarty and Mark Lundy discussed how NDVI-based ideotypes help identify yield-stable wheat genotypes under stress. This could be a cost-effective tool for precision breeding in variable environments.

We are also looking for 3-year #postdoc to work on the in silico prediction of root ideotypes for drought resistance across Europe. The Postdoc will be co-supervised by Dr. Pierre Martre, from the INRAE

The cell wall, apoplast and other cell components where auxin transporters have not been reported to be localized at are excluded from the figure.
