abstract = {Soil compaction is a serious global problem, and is a major
cause of inadequate rooting and poor yield in crops around
the world. Root system architecture (RSA) describes the
spatial arrangement of root components within the soil and
determines the plant’s exploration of the soil. Soil
strength restricts root growth and may slow down root system
development. RSA plasticity may have an adaptive value,
providing environmental tolerance to soil compaction.
However, it is challenging to distinguish developmental
retardation (apparent plasticity) or responses to severe
stress from those root architectural changes that may
provide an actual environmental tolerance (adaptive
plasticity). In this review, we outline the consequences of
soil compaction on the rooting environment and extensively
review the various root responses reported in the
literature. Finally, we discuss which responses enhance root
exploration capabilities in tolerant genotypes, and to what
extent these responses might be useful for breeding. We
conclude that RSA plasticity in response to soil compaction
is complex and can be targeted in breeding to increase the
performance of crops under specific agronomical conditions.},
