Phenotypic plasticity of fine root growth increases plant productivity in pine seedlings

BACKGROUND: The plastic response of fine roots to a changing environment is suggested to affect the growth and form of a plant. Here we show that the plasticity of fine root growth may increase plant productivity based on an experiment using young seedlings (14-week old) of loblolly pine. We use two...
