- Abstract
Roots are the only organ system to uptake water and nutrients from the soil. The root system is crucial for plants to survive and adapt to environmental stresses. Therefore, the root system architecture (RSA) is an important breeding target for developing climate-resilient rice. Since the rice genome has been completely sequenced, many genes for root development have been cloned and characterized. In addition, with the advances in technologies related to omics analysis, such as high-throughput sequencing, transcriptome analysis of roots has also progressed. In contrast, high-throughput root phenotyping has not been established not only in rice but also in whole plants because roots are hidden underground. This deficiency represents a bottleneck for utilizing an integrated multi-omics approach for molecular breeding of RSA. We first summarized previous transcriptome analyses for root development under various abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and heat, and assessed the current status of root phenotyping technology and modeling in rice. This knowledge allowed us to contemplate the possibility of applying an integrated multi-omics dataset from RSA to molecular breeding of climate-resilient rice.
