Microtome sectioning causes artifacts in rhizobox experiments

Plant and Soil, 2003
Experimental data on rhizosphere characteristics at high spatial resolution are required to improve our knowledge on phytoavailability of nutrients and pollutants. In numerous studies, sectioning using refrigerated microtomes has been employed to obtain thin soil layers at defined distances from the root surface.

Root responses to localised soil arsenic enrichment in the fern Pityrogramma calomelanos var. austroamericana grown in rhizoboxes

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2021
The terrestrial fern Pityrogramma calomelanos, a cosmopolitan tropical species, is one of the strongest known arsenic (As) hyperaccumulator plants. This study aimed to determine whether P. calomelanos preferentially forages for arsenite (As3+) or arsenate (As5+) in As-contaminated soils, and whether a positive root response to As enhances accumulation ...

Novel Rhizobox Design to Assess Rhizosphere Characteristics at High Spatial Resolution

Plant and Soil, 2001
Available tools to study rhizosphere characteristics at a sub-mm spatial resolution suffer from a number of shortfalls, including geometrically and physiologically ill-defined root layers containing soil or other growth medium. Such designs may result in over- or underestimation of root-induced changes in the rhizosphere.

Phosphorus Efficiency of Winter Canola Cultivars and Rhizosphere Properties in Rhizobox Technique

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2018
Production of oilseed crops requires balanced fertilization, while environmental problems of applied fertilizers must be considered.

The Uptake and Accumulation of P Assessed by DGT/Rhizobox Method

2016
The rhizosphere zone includes the volume of soil or sediment interacting directly and indirectly with the plant roots and the microzone near root with the radial distance from nanometers to centimeters (Hiltner in Arbeiten der Deutschen Landwirtschafts Gesellschafi 98:59–78, 1904).

Modified Micro Suction Cup/Rhizobox Approach for the In-Situ Detection of Organic Acids in Rhizosphere Soil Solution [PDF]

Plant and Soil, 2006
Root-soil interactions can strongly influence the soil solution chemistry in the rhizosphere. In the present study we propose a modification of the classical rhizobox/micro suction cup system to make it suitable for the collection and analysis of organic acids in the rhizosphere.

Effects of Biofertilizers on Mn and Zn Acquisition and Growth of Higher Plants: A Rhizobox Experiment

Journal of Plant Nutrition, 2015
Plant disease resistance and susceptibility are greatly influenced by the availability of micronutrients, particularly manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn). Take-all disease of wheat, caused by a strong Mn oxidizing fungus (Gaeumannomyces graminis var tritici, Ggt), results in a lack of availability of Mn to plants and increases disease severity in wheat ...

Improvements of rhizoboxes used for studies of soil–root interactions

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2002
Rhizobox systems of different designs are used to separate rhizosphere soil from bulk soil and are feasible ways to study different aspects of soil–root interactions. However, the methodology is labor intensive and after use the boxes are generally disposed. This makes the experiments expensive.

Variation in Rhizosphere Soil Microbial Index of Tree Species on Seasonal Flooding Land: An in Situ Rhizobox Approach

Applied Soil Ecology, 2012
Abstract Microbial activity of the tree rhizosphere provides important information relating to the selection of tree species for afforestation of the degraded land. This study was conducted using an in situ rhizobox approach, with the aims of establishing a viable technique for sampling desired rhizosphere soil and assessing the feasibility of ...

Limitations and Potential of in situ Rhizobox Sampling for Assessing Microbial Activity in Fruit Tree Rhizosphere

Plant and Soil, 2006
Controlled in situ sampling of tree rhizosphere is still a major challenge in detailed rhizosphere studies. Rhizoboxes have been widely used to describe the rhizosphere of annual crops, but have been rarely applied to trees. In this manuscript we aimed at assessing pH and microbial activity gradients associated with fruit tree rhizospheres.
