Keep in touch: the soil–root hydraulic continuum and its role in drought resistance in crops
Abstract
Drought is a major threat to food security worldwide. Recently, the root–soil interface has emerged as a major site of hydraulic resistance during water stress. Here, we review the impact of soil drying on whole-plant hydraulics and discuss mechanisms by which plants can adapt by modifying the properties of the rhizosphere either directly or through interactions with the soil microbiome.
