This project explores the trade-offs in plant root systems, particularly in herbs, focusing on how clonal growth can enhance efficiency in water and nutrient acquisition. It aims to develop methods for studying root functions and their adaptability to environmental changes.
Plant root systems have two key functions: they acquire water and nutrients and transport them to aboveground plant parts.
As a single root segment cannot be fully efficient at both functions, plants face a trade-off in optimising whole-root-system functioning which is largely unexplored in herbs.
Clonal growth, being common in herbs and widespread over the angiosperm phylogeny, offers an alternative transport pathway via horizontal stems, while adventitious roots formed on these stems shorten t…
