Abiotic stresses like heat, drought, nutrients, salinity and cold are the major problems of potato cultivation. Significant research advances have been made in cereals and model plants on root system architecture (RSA), and root ideotype (e.g. maize) has been identified for efficient nutrient capture and genes regulating root traits. However, limited work is available on RSA in potato with a few on drought stress and nitrogen use efficiency but meagre on other abiotic stresses. Hence, this mini-review aims to update knowledge and prospects of RSA on abiotic stress tolerance in potato with lessons learnt from model plants, cereals and others.
