Rootstock genotype shapes whole-plant 3-D architecture and biomass allocation in field-grown grapevines.
Article in Annals of botany, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsIn perennial crops, efficient resource acquisition critically depends on whole-plant architecture, encompassing both canopy and root systems. In grafted grapevine, research has largely focused on scion canopy structure, whereas root system architecture - despite its key role in water and nutrient uptake - remains underexplored. This study comprehensively analysed whole-plant 3-D architecture during vineyard establishment, investigating how different rootstock genotypes influence both root and shoot development.
methodsRiesling scions were grafted onto three rootstock genotypes (101-14, SO4 and 110R) and planted in a vineyard following a randomized complete block design. Whole-plant excavations and high-resolution 3-D digitization were performed to capture spatial data of root and shoot systems from 96 vines at four time points over 2 years (3, 6, 15 and 18 months after planting). Key architectural parameters and biomass partitioning were quantified. KEY
resultsRootstock genotype strongly influenced whole-plant 3-D architecture and biomass allocation. 110R developed significantly deeper, vertically oriented root systems (max depth 180 cm) and exhibited higher root-to-shoot biomass ratios compared to SO4 and 101-14. Multivariate analysis identified deep root length and overall spatial root system dimensions as primary discriminators among genotypes. Root growth across all genotypes was spatially biased along the planting row, with limited extension into the inter-row soil.
conclusionsRootstock genotype is a key determinant of whole-plant 3-D architecture and biomass partitioning. The integration of above- and below-ground structural data enables mechanistic interpretation of rootstock-mediated traits relevant to resource acquisition and stress adaptation. Our comprehensive 3-D data set provides a valuable foundation for functional-structural plant modelling and offers practical insights for targeted breeding and management strategies to enhance climate resilience in perennial crops.
