Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an individual organism to alter its behavior, morphology and physiology in response to changes in environmental conditions.[1]Root phenotypic plasticity enables plants to adapt to an array of biotic and abiotic constraints that limit plant productivity. Even though the exploitation of soil resources through root activity is energetically costly, natural selection favors plants that can direct root activity to exploit efficiently the heterogeneous distribution of soil resources.
Studying how plants adapt their root architecture to abiotic and biotic stressors can give us insights on how to increase food production. This is extremely important since we project our population to gain 2.3 billion people by the year 2050, which will require an increase in food production by 25–70%.[2] Malnutrition afflicts approximately 795 million people, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where one in four people are malnourished. Research on root architecture plasticity of staple crops may help us develop cultivars with increased capacity for soil resource acquisition. Hence, help us improve crop yields in marginal environments.
