      abstract     = {Predicting root water uptake and plant transpiration is
                      crucial for managing plant irrigation and developing
                      drought-tolerant root system ideotypes (i.e. ideal root
                      systems). Today, three-dimensional structural functional
                      models exist, which allows solving the water flow equation
                      in the soil and in the root systems under transient
                      conditions and in heterogeneous soils. Yet, these models
                      rely on the full representation of the three-dimensional
                      distribution of the root hydraulic properties, which is not
                      always easy to access. Recently, new models able to
                      represent this complex system without the full knowledge of
                      the plant 3D hydraulic architecture and with a limited
                      number of parameters have been developed. However, the
                      estimation of the macroscopic parameters a priori still
                      requires a numerical model and the knowledge of the full
                      three-dimensional hydraulic architecture. The objective of
                      this study is to provide analytical mathematical models to
                      estimate the values of these parameters as a function of
                      local plant general features, like the distance between
                      laterals, the number of primaries or the ratio of radial to
                      axial root conductances. Such functions would allow one to
                      characterize the behaviour of a root system (as
                      characterized by its macroscopic parameters) directly from
                      averaged plant root traits, thereby opening new
                      possibilities for developing quantitative ideotypes, by
                      linking plant scale parameters to mean functional or
                      structural properties. With its simple form, the proposed
                      model offers the chance to perform sensitivity and
                      optimization analyses as presented in this study.},
