Morphological and histological differences among three types of component roots and their differential contribution to water uptake in the rice root system

The rice root system consists of three types of roots; main root, L-type and S-type lateral root (LR). These component roots are morphologically and histologically different, which is termed as heterorhizy. Root system hydraulic architecture is related to the unique features of component roots. We h...
