Impact of three lateral root types identified in pearl millet on water uptake
Context. Diversity has been observed in the anatomy and growth patterns of lateral roots in cereals. This may impact water uptake and could therefore increase cereal performances under drought. This study focuses on pearl millet, a key crop for food security especially tolerant to drought. Objectives. The objective was to provide an integrated description of pearl millet lateral root development at early stages and to assess the impact of the existing diversity among lateral roots on water uptake using simulations.
