“…Krishnamurthy et al (1996) noted large variation at maximum rooting depth. Mia et al (1996) and Sarker et al (2005) have observed significant variation in tap root length, lateral root number, total root length and total root in various legumes under drought. Thoma et al (1996) have reported decreased root length density and extractible soil moisture in deeper layer in chickpea.…”

The shoot and root behavior and flowering time of two chickpea genotypes (kabuli and desi types) was examined under well watered and moisture stress conditions in split drainpipes in 2006. The data on shoot and root fresh weight and dry weight and plant and soil moisture percentage were recorded at the late flowering stage. The observations on root and soil moisture were recorded at three depth level with gap of 15 cm each. The results revealed that both the plant types of chickpea behaved alike except for days to flower initiation which was significantly different in the two varieties. Root and Shoot fresh weights were significantly greater in well watered conditions, but on the other hand, there was no any significant effect of moisture stress on shoot dry matter content, suggesting that higher weight of fresh shoot was due to high uptake of water under well watered conditions which evaporated after drying. Fresh root weight was only significantly affected at 30 cm depth level due to varieties and 45 cm depth level due to treatments. The root moisture percentage was significantly affected at 15, 30 and 45 cm depth level due to varieties × treatments interaction, varieties and treatments, respectively. There found no significant difference in dry weight among the rooting depths. The cultivar Sheenghar-2000 retained higher root moisture content (7.57%) at 15 cm depth level under well watered.

“…Cowpea is a versatile crop mostly grown in regions across various climatic zones in semi-arid regions like the savannas of Africa (Singh and Allen, 1980) where terminal drought events are frequent. Many such characteristics make it more tolerant to drought than other legume crops (Turk et al, 1980;Gwathmey and Hall, 1992;Itani et al, 1992;Mia et al, 1996;Singh et al, 1999). Soybean is planted at the start of spring or later in USA, South America and China and experience relatively less drought compared with other legumes with a high water requirement (450−700 mm) (Dogan et al, 2007).…”

These root segments were thinner in both groundnut and pigeonpea than in other legumes but similar to those of pearl millet. Soybean and pigeonpea had a relatively thinner cortex than the other legumes. Xylem vessel size and the numbers were apparently the most discriminating traits of legumes. Pigeonpea is equipped to conduct small quantities of water per unit time with a few narrow xylem vessels and that explains the conservative early growth of pigeonpea. Chickpea and cowpea showed moderate xylem passage per root indicating that they are capable of absorbing water moderately and are well equipped for regular drought episodes. The development of cortical and stele tissue and their proportion is markedly influenced by moisture availability to the root system.

“…The morphology and architecture of root systems for entire link constituting the whole root system show wide variation among plant species (Weaver, (topological model). 1926;Mia et aL, 1996). A part of this variation is Recently the fractal model has been applied and genetically regulated (Izumi et aL, 1995; adopted to assess the morphology and distribution of al., 1996), although there are large phenotypic plasticity plant root systems (Tatsumi et al, 1989).…”
