abstract = {Greater exploitation of subsoil resources by annual crops
would afford multiple benefits, including greater water and
N acquisition in most agroecosystems, and greater
sequestration of atmospheric C. Constraints to root growth
in the subsoil include soil acidity (an edaphic stress
complex consisting of toxic levels of Al, inadequate levels
of P and Ca, and often toxic levels of Mn), soil compaction,
hypoxia, and suboptimal temperature. Multiple root phenes
under genetic control are associated with adaptation to
these constraints, opening up the possibility of breeding
annual crops with root traits improving subsoil exploration.
Adaptation to Al toxicity, hypoxia, and P deficiency are
intensively researched, adaptation to soil hardness and
suboptimal temperature less so, and adaptations to Ca
deficiency and Mn toxicity are poorly understood. The
utility of specific phene states may vary among soil taxa
and management scenarios, interactions which in general are
poorly understood. These traits and issues merit research
because of their potential value in developing more
productive, sustainable, benign, and resilient agricultural
systems.},
