论文摘要
作物生产的优化需要根系在水吸收,营养用途和锚固中起作用。在玉米中,两种类型的淋巴结 - 替氏牙冠和空中支撑根在锚固和水吸收中的功能,并优先表达多种水和养分转运蛋白。 Brace Root Development共享遗传控制与少年到成人相变和开花时间。我们介绍了已知改变撑杆根并将其作为玉米和高粱研究的候选者的综合列表。在其他成员的其他成员中可以保存支撑根的发展和功能,但是研究是有限的。这项工作突出了空中淋巴结根源开发和功能的关键知识差距,并提出了用于繁殖弹性作物的新焦点领域。
Optimization of crop production requires root systems to function in water uptake, nutrient use, and anchorage. In maize, two types of nodal roots-subterranean crown and aerial brace roots function in anchorage and water uptake and preferentially express multiple water and nutrient transporters. Brace root development shares genetic control with juvenile-to-adult phase change and flowering time. We present a comprehensive list of the genes known to alter brace roots and explore these as candidates for QTL studies in maize and sorghum. Brace root development and function may be conserved in other members of Poaceae, however research is limited. This work highlights the critical knowledge gap of aerial nodal root development and function and suggests new focus areas for breeding resilient crops.
