      abstract     = {Shallow basal root growth angle (BRGA) increases phosphorus
                      acquisition efficiency by enhancing topsoil foraging because
                      in most soils, phosphorus is concentrated in the topsoil.
                      Root hair length and density (RHL/D) increase phosphorus
                      acquisition by expanding the soil volume subject to
                      phosphorus depletion through diffusion. We hypothesized that
                      shallow BRGA and large RHL/D are synergetic for phosphorus
                      acquisition, meaning that their combined effect is greater
                      than the sum of their individual effects. To evaluate this
                      hypothesis, phosphorus acquisition in the field in
                      Mozambique was compared among recombinant inbred lines of
                      common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) having four distinct root
                      phenotypes: long root hairs and shallow basal roots, long
                      root hairs and deep basal roots, short root hairs and
                      shallow basal roots, and short root hairs and deep basal
                      roots. The results revealed substantial synergism between
                      BRGA and RHL/D. Compared with short-haired, deep-rooted
                      phenotypes, long root hairs increased shoot biomass under
                      phosphorus stress by $89\%,$ while shallow roots increased
                      shoot biomass by $58\%.$ Genotypes with both long root hairs
                      and shallow roots had $298\%$ greater biomass accumulation
                      than short-haired, deep-rooted phenotypes. Therefore, the
                      utility of shallow basal roots and long root hairs for
                      phosphorus acquisition in combination is twice as large as
                      their additive effects. We conclude that the anatomical
                      phene of long, dense root hairs and the architectural phene
                      of shallower basal root growth are synergetic for phosphorus
                      acquisition. Phene synergism may be common in plant biology
                      and can have substantial importance for plant fitness, as
                      shown here.},
