SHALLOWER ROOT SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION INDUCED BY PHOSPHORUS DEFICIENCY CONTRIBUTES TO TOPSOIL FORAGING AND LOW PHOSPHORUS ADAPTION IN SUGARCANE (SACCHARUM OFFICINARUM L.)

Shallower Root Spatial Distribution Induced by Phosphorus Deficiency Contributes to Topsoil Foraging and Low Phosphorus Adaption in Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.)

Low phosphorus (P) availability in acid soils is one of the main limiting factors in sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) production.Reconstruction of the root system architecture (RSA) is a vital mechanism for crop low P adaption, while the RSA of sugarcane has not been studied in detail because of its complex root system.In this study, reconstruc
