Rootstock genotype shapes whole-plant 3-D architecture and biomass allocation in field-grown grapevines
Rootstock 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.
